My knee is still swollen after my mcl injury. what should i do to make the swelling go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice and elevate: For an acute mcl injury, ice and elevation is helpful. In addition, using an over the counter anti-inflammatory can help as well. If you are having significant pain, restriction in motion or instability, then you should follow up with an orthopedist or a sports medicine specialist.
