I got tackled at rugby last night & my knee hurt after being tackled but the pain is getting worse as the hours go by, the pain is the side of my knee

Inflammation: Ice, rest, elevation, and anti-inflammatory/pain medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen are the initial treatment. If no help, see an orthopedic surgeon for an exam, and maybe some X-rays or MRI. Hope this helps!
