I have injuried both of my knees by sitting on the tailgate of a truck and dropped to the ground. I am 67 years old. I can barely bend my knees as the pain is unbearable. I had both knees replaced approximately 10-11 years. I weigh 120 lbs. 5 1/2 feet tall with small frame. What should I do? This happened last Tuesday.
Hello, I understand the trouble you are facing with the injury. Kindly give ample rest to your knees to heal. Ice application would be helpful. If the pain is unbearable a X-ray both knees AP and lateral views is advice. Over the counter painkillers and sprays can be used initially. A knee cap would be of help to you. These should be sufficient for you along with a X-ray. Thanks for seeking advice.
