Your knees keep you mobile. When you hurt your knee in an accident or injury, your mobility is challenged and the pain forces you to postpone many daily activities you took for granted. Don’t ignore your injured knee. If it’s not better within a day or two, consult an expert like Dr. Amr Hosny at the Spine & Rehab Group in Manhattan and northern New Jersey. This practice has the experience and technology to correctly diagnose your knee injury and apply the proper non-surgical swollen knee treatment. Take care of your knees; call the nearest office for an examination and treatment.
Knee injuries cause knee pain, often accompanied by swelling. While you may have just sprained your knee, it’s possible the injury did more serious damage to the knee’s structure than you realize. Since your knees enable mobility and because they’re such complex joints, you need an expert to determine what’s wrong with your knee and how to treat it.
Dr. Amr Hosny is one of the knee specialists at the Spine & Rehab Group, with locations in New York City, as well as Morris County, Union County and Bergen County in New Jersey. They have years of experience dealing with knee injuries and the technology to accurately diagnose and provide treatment for a swollen knee. Without treatment, your knee injury can lead to more severe damage, affecting your mobility and quality of life.
Your knee is the largest and strongest of all the joints in your body. But its function as a weight-bearing joint and its structural complexity make it susceptible to injury and debilitating disease, such as arthritis. Depending on how you hurt your knee, you can feel the pain from an injury on the inside or outside, behind or in front of your knee.
You can hurt your knees in many ways. You may smack your knee in a car accident or fall. If you suffer a sports injury like runner’s knee or patellofemoral pain syndrome, you feel a dull pain around the front of your knee, along with a grinding or clicking sound coming from the kneecap. Other types of knee injuries include:

Your swollen knee is a clear indication that something is amiss in your knee joint. Along with the inflammation, you may have heard a popping noise at the time of the injury when the pain started. If your knee is swollen, you may find yourself starting to limp as the pain becomes so severe that you can’t move your knee.
A damaged knee may not heal on its own, especially if the injury is more severe than a sprain. Reasons why you should get a knee injury swelling treatment include:

Abe RomiCommon knee injuries like a sprain or strain aren’t very serious. You can often treat them successfully by taking over-the-counter pain medications. Use a cold compress as a swollen knee treatment and take it easy for a few days until your knee injury heals. You have an option of wearing a brace or using crutches to prevent your knee from moving too much.
For other types of knee problems, your specialist doctor may suggest a cartilage injury knee treatment course of action, where non-surgical remedies include:
