Specializes in Internal Medicine

Knee pain: You may have strained one of the ligaments of the knee. A more severe condition would be a tear of the meniscus. Take Ibuprofen 400-800 mg every 8 hours with food if you are not allergic. Avoid strenuous activity. Keep leg elevated. If pain persists, get an evaluation.
