Case Summary  |  Knee Injury


Condition Knee Pain
Case Description

While playing basketball on a concrete court I fell and skinned my knee pretty badly. It swelled up the size of a balloon and became infected. Ice brought the swelling down and pain killers kept the pain at bay, but it did not totally get better until I went to the doctor and got antibiotics.

After I started the antibiotics, my knee healed right away.
