Q: 

What to do for pain relief?

About a week ago I fell and landed on my knee. I have been trying not to go to the ER. Is there anything over the counter I can take or some type of cream to rub on it?

Hello. Thank you for posting.

If the pain is worsening or not showing signs of improvement, you really need to get it looked at. There are many drugstore pain relievers that can help with pain: Aleve, Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) Tylenol. Try icing the area if swelling is present.
