[|Human|] Fell hard on my knees. Left knee didn t hurt much at first, but pain is getting worse. Knee to ankle is slightly swollen, and I get a painful burning feeling around my shin. Pain is worse when I first stand up. Pain also gets bad if I stand on leg too long.
[|AI|]  Hello, As you had a fall directly over the knee, there might be inflammation in the knee joint due to ligament sprain.  You should immobilize the knee and use hot water fermentation, keep it elevated over a pillow while in a lying position.  This procedure will help to reduce the pain as well as the swelling. In case if you are not diabetic then you can even use ice for reducing pain.  Only people who don't have diabetes we advise icing or else only hot water to avoid complications. Pain will be present and so does the swelling, due to the impact to the joint there will be a soft tissue Inflammation.  In case by doing the above mention procedure the pain & swelling don't come down then you should take an MRI or x-ray of the Injury to figure out if any fracture or which soft tissue is damaged.  But if the pain & swelling comes down than doing static qua Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In
