Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. How much is the swelling? Does it occur every time she moves more than usual? Is it red or warm in that areatoo? Apply ice to that area for 10-20mins and then massage with a good analgesic balm like voltral. If the swelling is a lot or it's red or painful when you must inform her orthopedic.
