Can't bend knee without pain?

My teenage son had this exact problem after his football match last month. We applied ice packs immediately and kept his leg elevated on pillows for a few days. It really helped reduce the swelling, but we still took him to a physiotherapist to be safe. Please don't let them run around till it heals.

With my PCOS, joint pains and inflammation can sometimes flare up if my weight or hormones are out of balance. If you are experiencing constant pain, it's best to be cautious and not put too much weight on that leg. A doctor's guidance is definitely the safest route.

Knee pain can make daily life very difficult, brother. When my knee used to hurt like this, I used to massage it gently with warm mustard oil and tie a soft cotton cloth around it for support. Keep your leg straight and rest as much as you can.

For mild joint stiffness, drinking warm milk with a pinch of turmeric at night can help reduce internal inflammation. However, if you are unable to bend your knee at all or if there is severe pain, please consult an orthopedic doctor immediately. Home remedies are only for light support.
