My knee hurts after I start running again. The pain has persisted for more than 48 hours

Question

The pain is moderate when I walk and mild at rest. I put cold, but it does not reduce the pain. What can I do to make it better? Hello, yes, this is the first time I have felt this pain. I am able to function normally in the sense that I can walk and move without too much pain. I still feel sensitivity during movement After about 56 hours, the pain has diminished. At rest, I no longer have any twinges or heat. And finally, yes it is swollen. Perfect! Thank you for your time!

Hello, In order to answer your question, I need to validate some information. Is this the first time you have had these pains? Does your pain prevent you from functioning normally? Has it decreased since the beginning? Is it swollen? Thanks for the clarification. The fact that it is swollen is a sign that there is inflammation. I would suggest applying Voltaren X-Fort to your knee twice a day morning and evening for a few days. This anti-inflammatory gel will help heal the inflammation
