Knee Strain Remedies? - General

So on friday of last week, i strained my knee in Gym. I landed pretty hard on it and it bent backwards instead of forwards. its extremely painful when i move it, and after i have moved it, it hurts when its still. are there any remedies to get rid of the pain? *and no, its not broken, i can walk on it, although it hurts. if it gets worse im going to get xrays on it.

Jog it off

Just lay in bed all day and play games on your laptop for weeks on end. That's what I do regardless of leg pain, but it uh, also helps with leg pain. I suspect.

If walking it off does not help, try adding heat patches or drinking more milk, I dont know, im no doctor. :saddowns:

20 minutes ice, 20 minutes heat, keep alternating. Stay off of it. I use to skateboard, for about eight years. Tons of ligament issues. Until I tore every ligament in my left foot and I can't do it anymore. Sad, because I was about to get sponsorships.
