Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I fell over a few days back, and my right knee and left ankle are still swollen and very painful.
I am currently on Hydrocortisone and other medicines for a brain tumor diagnosed years ago.
I am also taking Thyroxine, Desmopressin, Lansoprazole, and painkillers.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
It has been almost a week since you injured your right knee and ankle.
Painful swelling of knee and ankle indicates ligament sprain or tear. If it is soft tissue injury swelling, it takes about a week for the pain and swelling to subside.
If the painful swelling has not improved, I suggest you consult your specialist doctor, discuss it with them, and take the medicines with their consent.
