Knee injury from basketball, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice.: Ice the knee for 20 minutes at a time, 3-4 times per day. If you can take anti inflammatory medications, like aleve, (naproxen) that helps bring down swelling. If you're still concerned after about a week, then you should see an orthopedic knee surgeon, for evaluation.
