Knee pain : With swelling and discomfort warrants an examination by your physician. You want to be sure there is no blood nor fracture . Often times when we are active and busy , we bumped into things and don't think anything of it till we hurt or see physical change like bruises , pain ; swelling. In meantime, you can take Motrin or alleve for pain.
