Maybe torn meniscus: A fall like that can injure the ligaments (meniscus) within the knee joint. You need to see your physician, who may ask you to see an orthopedist or physiatrist for treatment. This problem may persist, so call today for an appointment

Ice and Elevate: You can still get some pain relief from applying ice and keeping the leg elevated when not walking around. Apply the ice on for 20 min then off for 20 min. OTC anti-inflammatory meds can also help with the pain and support healing.
