Do I need to see my doctor?
Not normally. If you follow the right advice and take the right medication, your knee problem should improve over the next six weeks.
If you experience any of the following, you should speak to your doctor:
- Difficulty putting weight on your leg.
- Your knee locking or giving way.
- A hot and swollen knee.
- Pain that gets worse and worse.
- Your knee problem has not improved within six weeks.
