Should I see an orthopedic doctor?
After a second fall on my right knee caused much pain and swelling, I went to a clinic where they took x rays. They said the radiologist said it didn't look like anything was broken, and they put me in a brace. It's been almost 10 days since. The swelling is still bad and the knee still hurts. Specifically, the side of my knee and shin hurt. Sometimes the pain is sharp, burning and seems to be shooting along the side or shin. Should I see an orthopedic or continue to wait it out?
