Sore knee, advice please!

[Salhal]

I went for my first "run " in quite a while on Wednesday, it didn't hurt at the time but Wednesday night, after kneeling down to change nappies etc at bedtime my right knee started to hurt. I can walk on it but I have a limp and it hurts, stairs are tricky and it is sore when I touch it on the inner part of my knee but it's not swollen. I'm taking ibuprofen and paracetamol and I had some ice on it last night what shall I do? Wait until tomorrow and go to walk in centre, a & e tonight when kids are in bed, or just hope it gets better on its own? It's sore, I have two small kids and it's making me grumpy!

Definitely get it seen. There is a lot in the knee that may have been damaged and some of it just doesn't heal on its own, ever. And what will heal can take a very long time. (I'm into the 3rd month of my knee injury )

And here's me hoping it will just go away! Hope you are recovered soon.

Continue to ice it as often as possible, and take ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory) rather than paracetamol.

My inflammation must be down quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, because I can now walk. Stairs are still tricky, although I've made progress on going down the stairs.

When do you intend to see a doctor?
