Ice, Tylenol (acetaminophen): When one has knee pain, it is ideal if the source or cause of the pain can be determined. This is best done by her pediatrician, family physician or orthopedist. In the meantime, the pain can be addressed with r.I.C.E.: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Additionally, tylenol (acetaminophen) may also be helpful but this is only a symptom reducer, not a cure. See you doctor for the cure.

Had a knee knock during soccer. There was no popping or initial pain. Then inside of my knee started hurting. When I press on my knee and when I fully extend the inside/upper part of my knee hurts. Wondering if its a bone bruise or something else?
