Hello, My wife was doing some working activies in the lounging room and suddenly she accidentally hits the sofa pole. Her knee is now swollen and it is getting a bit bigger day by day. 3 days have passed. What is your recommendation please? Eventually we are thinking about doing an X ray. Thanks for a kind answer
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to accumulation of fluid in the knee joint, secondary to the musculoskeletal injury.X-ray of the knee joint will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac+ Serratiopeptidase (to be taken after food) and Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedic for proper clinical examination.Also, she should maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. Wishing her a Good Health. Take care.
