Knee pain and ankle swelling
My husband woke up one morning with knee pain, and thought maybe he had slept on it wrong or pinched a nerve. As the day went on, it started to swell and got warm to the touch. He stayed off it, applied ice off and on, wore a knee brace, and elevated it. Two days later, it's not any better or worse. He says it hurts to put all his weight on it. He doesn't remember hurting it, even though he did go skating a few days before it started to hurt, and he did fall and scrape that knee. There is no redness or infection on the scrape and it's almost healed. Just today, he noticed the ankle on the bad leg is starting to swell now. He has no health insurance and is out of work right now, so we'd like to avoid the doctor unless it's an emergency. Thank you for your time.
