[|Human|] Yesterday morning I was playing volleyball with a partner and we collided. Her knee hit my outer thigh, right above my knee. The muscle tensed up making it difficult to bend/squat and is occasionally painful to put weight on (an example would be walking up stairs). I ve been icing/compressing/elevating it, but it s still quite painful even with pain medication. Is there anything else I should be doing? The pain is sometimes sharp, and causes my knee to buckle. If I m not moving then it s only somewhat sore.
[|AI|]  Hi I appreciate your concern.it appears injury to your thigh muscles and ?strain on knee ligaments.it would be better if u do an x-ray of knee to rule out any significant damage. Along with painkiller medicines, andicing, i always advice my patients to immobilize knee in a splint, which helps in healing of injured tissues.consulting your orthopedic doctor will help u much. Thanks. For any further quarries, I will be happy to answer.
