My right knee twisted twice yesterday, and since then I have pain, especially while standing. What should I do?

Asked by Female, 29 ยท 6 days ago

A knee that has twisted and is painful while standing is most often due to a soft-tissue injury, such as a ligament strain or a knee sprain, and the first step is simple care: rest the knee, avoid putting too much weight on it, apply ice for 10-15 minutes several times a day, keep the leg elevated, and use a compression bandage if comfortable. You can take a mild pain reliever if needed. Do not try heavy activity or force movement until the pain improves. If the pain is severe, swelling increases, you cannot bear weight, or it does not improve within a few days, consult a doctor as you may need an examination or imaging to rule out ligament or cartilage injury.
