Hello, I am a teenaged boy and I have recently injured my knee about 4 days ago. My main problem with it is that it hurts when I apply pressure on it and when I bend it. You see, this weekend I am heading up to a snowboarding event with my team and I would not miss it for the world. what could I do to it before or during when I am on the slopes so that it won t hurt as much?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history. As per the history this looks more of a ligament sprain. Using icing for reducing pain should help you and some small knee strengthening exercises to support the joint. Also, using a knee brace will help further to stabilize the joint during the game. In an instant recovery of pain, applying vapocoolant spray and using knee brace helps for best sports outcome. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
