<s>[INST] I fell a about a week ago on my knee. It is still swollen, hard to walk on, with burning pain and sharp pains constantly. Pain meds not working. I ve tried a knee stabilizer brace with rest & ice, no help. Pain shoots up and down leg from knee as well. [/INST] Hi, thanks for writing in to HCM.kindly take stronger pain medications like combination of paracetamol 500mg and aceclofenac 100mg twice daily for three days.Along with that you can apply diclofenac gel locally on the affected area.Also kindly visit an orthopaedician and get an X Ray done.Apply hot compresses for relief.Regards,Dr.Riyanka </s>
