  4. D I A G N O S E Y O U R I N J U R Y Once you know where the pain is coming from, the next step is figuring out what’s causing it. Is your pain caused by your patellar tendon, your menisci, your ligaments, your cartilage, your muscles, and tendons? These injuries can all occur and cause pain in different areas of the knee.

  5. T R E A T M E N T O P T I O N S Ice - If your injury is more severe, you may benefit from icing the knee. Ice can help reduce inflammation. Apply ice for 20 minutes at a time, up to four times per day. Compression - If you have extreme swelling, you may want to use a compression device. This will help reduce the swelling, giving your knee more room to heal. Elevation - You might also find relief from elevating your knee above your heart to decrease swelling. Medication - If you're experiencing intense pain, your doctor might prescribe anti-inflammatory medication or pain relievers to help with the pain.

  6. P R E V E N T I O N A D V I C E Prevention is key to reducing your risk of a knee injury. Here are a few ways you can prevent injuries: Wear quality sneakers: High, supportive sneakers will provide better stability and cushioning, which can help reduce the risk of injury. Stretch: Stretching your legs before and after exercise can help keep the muscles limber and relaxed, which can reduce the risk of injury.
