Hi, I fell this morning, landing on my knees, I hit my right one just below the knee cap at the top of my tibia. I immediately felt dizzy and vomited, I hobbled to the sofa and raised my legs until I felt less dizzy. When I looked at my knee, there was an immediate localised swelling just below my knee, I have since developed pain in the inside of my calf and above my knee, also the lump is somewhat warm. I can walk on it but it is sore to fully bend it. I had surgery on this knee, 2 years ago, to remove a growth in the tendon and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Type 3. Should I go to my nearest emergency dept or see my doctor next week?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Enters Carlos Syn Chat Doctor.  No need to worry, this immediate swelling either be due to connective tissues small tear or your surgical area got hit. For immediate relief, you can apply ice to that area just for 7-10 minutes for 2 days to reduce your swelling, when swelling get subside you can go for hot fermentation and topical analgesic ointments. If swelling not get subside I recommend you to consult your Orthopedics. I hope you will get some relief with this. Wish you good health.
