knee
I fractured my knee over the summer. A couple of wks ago I was walking my dog, he pulled me I fell with all my weight on that knee. Since then I have severe pain when I walk, swelling. Ibuprofen and tylenol, bracing does not help. Dr. says it's not broke she thinks I bruised a bone. What do you think?

P.S. She only x-rayed it never did a MRI, she told me to go to physical therapy for 3 wks. and if its not better to let her know.

Anatomically knitted knee support incorporating contoured silicone insert surrounding the patella: The kinetically integrated guide counteracts lateralization of the pattella. During activity the insert not only counteracts patellar malalignment but provides intermittent compression for the reduction of swelling and edema.
