[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 307900, member: 6223"] If you are not resting it, icing it, compressing it, and keeping it elevated the swelling might not go down. And you need to ice it multiple times a day. If it were me and the swelling hasn't gone down, I would not use heat. Ice it for 15 minutes in the morning then wrap it if you have to be on your feet. Ice it at lunch, ice it at supper, ice it before you go to bed and wrap it when you aren't icing it. Sleep with a rolled up sleeping bag or a couple pillows under your leg so it is elevated all night and keep it elevated during the day as much as possible. As others have said you will need an MRI to tell soft tissue damage, or a knowledgeable doctor that knows how to check for damaged ligaments. Had an extensive knee injury in HS on a Friday night and went to a small town local clinic. Guy took xrays and sent me on my way in about 20 minutes with a "hyperextension". Long story short...had an athletic trainer look at it the next day with 0 pieces of equipment, and had surgery on Monday to repair damn near everything in my knee. [/QUOTE]
