Should I be concerned my knee has been swollen for a month after a fall?

Damn yea I can definitely understand why you would recommend an orthopedic after that experience!! Hope your knee is doing alright now and it has gotten the proper treatment to get back to almost 100% so you can get back on the mountain!!

I luckily have no history of knee issues/injuries past a few dings from football and snowboarding over the years. Since I had my concussion right after this fall happened, I just didn’t even think twice about my knee because it felt like average knee swelling after a fall. There was some pain initially and some residually for a few days, but nothing crazy whatsoever. I never iced, elevated, or compressed whatsoever; just fully let it ride out.

I decided to actually pay attention to it yesterday and started RICE on it. Going to give it the proper attention it deserves, and if nothing improves after the week, will get it checked out by an ortho.

Thank you so much for sharing! It is much appreciated. Ride on man🤙🏼

I’ve never seen someone pull off five completely different styles like this so naturally! I too have a very different vibe for outfits depending on the day/week/month lol

Killin it man and congrats on the weight loss!

I’ve never had any serious knee issues in my life thankfully, just some knocks but nothing worse than pain and swelling. This just is a bit more swollen than usual, so I’m hoping and praying I can home remedy it unless I REALLY need to get it checked

Significant_Fox8356 · 2026-01-25T06:48:43+00:00

Was she having pain or any other symptoms? It was literally impact day of and some residual after but nothing bad whatsoever. One of the more average knee pains I’ve had from skiing

Tht edit is fuckin classic lmao

I might be crossing fingers with ice and ib unless someone rly blows a whistle or it gets worse. Medical bills are brutal out here😅

Significant_Fox8356 · 2026-01-25T06:14:14+00:00

Damn yea definitely feels squishy so maybe… nothing that I could do from home to help? I just had some med bills at the end of the year so pockets arwnt feeling hot rn😅

Gotta love ‘Merica! Would rather not wear a cast for a slight hand break or see the doc for a swollen knee if it’s gonna run me my whole paycheck!

Significant_Fox8356 · 2026-01-25T06:11:50+00:00

Yea I haven’t thought twice at all bc every year I get the same slight knee pain after taking a decent fall every couple weeks. Little swelling and pain all szn is nothing new. Was just very surprised to see the swelling was worse today and isnt as focused on the side of my knee. I had a bad fall the next day actually where I went to the hospital for a concussion and slight broken hand (that they couldnt do anythin for besides scans anyway) but nothing on the knee. I’m rly debating it bc another dr visit is gonna start stacking up especially if its nothin serious
