What to do if my knee hurts and what can i do to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice the knee.: You can apply ice packs to the knee, 20 minutes at a time, 3-4 times per day. If you can take an over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, that would help as well. If you're no better in a week or so, then you should see an orthopedic knee specialist for further assessment.
