What should i do if i have lateral knee pain, minor pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minor pain: Generally, minor musculoskeletal pain can be treated with an over the counter pain medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If the pain persists or gets worse, then it would be wise to be examined by a doctor. Resting and icing the injured area can also lead to improvement.
