Remedies Needed for Swollen Leg for Past Year After Fall on Knee

Posted By Legs Diamond (Andalusia, Spain) on 07/17/2016

I slipped and hit my knee 13 months ago. I have had the knee xrayed and my leg sonorgraphed as just after the blow to the knee (left) my whole leg swelled. I was told it is the result of arthritic condition. The leg has remained swollen and the knee grown more painful. I have taken anti water tablets. Is there anything else I could try?.

I tripped on the steps last year, twisted my leg and ended up seeing my doctor for fear of a break and worry caused by all the swelling. No break but my leg, measured under the knee, was close to two inches larger than the other. The doctor gave me a script for something to take down the swelling. I got home and decided to try apple cider vinegar instead. After two days my leg was back to normal, all the swelling gone. No drugs. Hopefully this can help you too.
