Knee injury? : Popliteal pain & swelling result from knee joint inflammation. You can apply local ice 10-15 minutes for 2-3 times daily & see if that helps.

Phlebitis: If it is really the swelling and burning are from the Popliteal vein it may be inflamed, take some anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day and have it checked through your physician to rule out blood clot. Pain and swelling in the calf may be different causes also.

I fell down two stairs on my way out the house on Tuesday. My leg is a bit swollen but is very sore. I am able to walk on it even though it is painful but last night there was a throbbing pain. Should I continue to put ice/heat on it or see a doctor?
