Swollen knee

[Rutheybabe]

Help my right knee has swollen, any ideas, should I go see doctor or not run (jog) for few days and see how it is. Thanks

Have you received a bite.Too cold at this time of year🙈Your left knee , of course.🤔

Eeeep! Poor you. 🙁

Nobody on here is qualified to give medical advice (I don’t think), but definitely don’t run on a swollen knee. Do see your doctor if it is still swollen tomorrow, I would say.

You are doing so well.

Just looked, this only your second post.

Scroll down and find other related problems ,Or goto discover and find runners problems,while your resting can reassure yourself of possible symptoms and remedies. Generally heat not recommended.Is it painful.Try find links🤔been sent on many related posts. Saw it just yesterday.I will try and find it .

Good luck and do not worry or stress.

Yes and I am not a medic.

Thanks just on my 8 week gutted have to stop for a bit

Look at peetski post and Roboliver post may get a related post from their.Just yesterday. Must say first I have noticed with swelling , hope you have not broken anything. But RICE cannot do any harm to bring the swelling down. 20 mins and do not apply the ice directly in your skin. Frozen peas in a towel.

Good luck.

You know what you have and feeling read the RICE and PRICE as they call it now🤔Definately bring down swelling.May need anti inflammatory medication Naproxene or voltarol cream.Is it painful🤔Even mild paracetamol will help if you have pain.

Not everyone knows what Rice & PRICE are ?

There's POLICE now... 😀

If it was me Rutheybabe, I would ice ( bag of frozen peas in a tea towel) and elevate it. Take ibuprofen if you tolerate it. If still swollen after 24 hrs a trip to your doc to see whats going on.

Can you walk on it without pain, any bruising... We are not medics on here I'm afraid. Take care 😊xx

Hi thanks oh I know not medics but thought someone else might have had the same. Will try get drs fir next week see goes as It doesn’t hurt x thanks again

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to Rutheybabe]

Yes, someone might have an idea, do you know why it happened?

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Was it after a run?

[Tbae]

Hi, again, good advise from Jan, 👍

While you are resting and to reassure yourself,

Go to Discover on your account page

Press and then press communities

Scroll down through all the communities , many , you may find a group with similar problems , symptoms and of course remedies. Of course you may still see your GP, but you know your own body and of course you are not self medicating , but you maybe lucky, and the very least it may reassure you .

Take care and do not stress.

We are not medical experts, and as Sadie-runs suggests,, go and get it checked out. Don' t run.
