What should I do to help my knee?

Answer #1

ice it. and if it doesn’t feel good still go to the doctors get it checked out and maybe get an MRI

Hope your knee feels better

Answer #2

But a ice pack on it if it hurts, because it will num the pain and help some of the swollen to go down. Maybe you should get a brace for your knee. Or go to the doctors and they will put a brace on there and might take some x-ray to make sure nothing is broken.

hope your knee feels better.
