A member asked:

Hurt knee jump roping, now have patella inflammed. been using rice method feels better but start police academy in 1week .what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doc.: If it is just a tendinitis, then rice is appropriate. But there are many other problems that make the front of the knee swell. Considering the requirements of the exam, you should probably see an othopaedic surgeon to be safe.
