<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Yesterday morning I was playing volleyball with a partner and we collided. Her knee hit my outer thigh, right above my knee. The muscle tensed up making it difficult to bendsquat and is occasionally painful to put weight on an example would be walking up stairs. I ve been icingcompressingelevating it, but it s still quite painful even with pain medication. Is there anything else I should be doing? The pain is sometimes sharp, and causes my knee to buckle. If I m not moving then it s only somewhat sore.  <response>: Hi I appreciate your concern.it appears injury to your thigh muscles and ?strain on knee ligaments.it would be better if u do an x-ray of knee to rule out any significant damage. Along with painkiller medicines, andicing, i always advice my patients to immobilize knee in a splint, which helps in healing of injured tissues.consulting your orthopedic doctor will help u much. Thanks. For any further quarries, I will be happy to answer.
