[|Human|] Hi Dr. Grief, I injured my knee a few days ago. The area around the knee cap, above and below became very inflamed and hot to the touch. Today, the swelling has traveled down my leg and my calf, all the way around is 2 to 3 times the size of my other leg. I am also experiencing numbness, but it is not too bad. Can you help?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical assessment is advised along with the understanding of the mechanism of the injury. As the swelling is a protective mechanism of the body, so if the ligament injury occurs the pain and swelling is common, also the pain down the legs can be due to muscular pain due to strain. After a thorough assessment treatment can be planned. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
