Yesterday I was running with my teammates in my school and I tripped and fell hard against the tile floor on both of my knees and kept running but when I stopped I noticed that my right knee only had swelled up the size of literally 2 golf balls next to eachother I went on in practice and then realized that it had grown and grown and by the end of about 30 min it had become the size of half a tennis ball sitting on my knee. I was unable to bend it or walk on it etc. but later last night I could bend it but it hurts really bad and the swelling has went down a little but it hurts really bad and it is way warmer than my other knee is and I'm still limping. I'm not sure if I should go to the doctor now that it swelled down a little.. But it feels the same.. What do you think I should do?

Wait for a week, because if you go now, the doctor wouldn't able to see anything if you get x-rays because it happened yesterday. Try icing and heating it everyday as much as you can. 10 minutes icing, 10 minutes heating, 10 minutes waiting, and then repeat. If it still hurts after a week, then you should see a doctor. Try resting it, if you can get out of practice whatever you're doing.
bypass to the wellbeing middle. in elementary terms with an radiograph/CT can the medical doctors precise diagnose what's incorrect. He can do greater injury to himself if he would not bypass right this moment. in the mean time ice it for 20min/hr and take some ibuprofen if he would not have a clotting affliction.
