The other nite I fell down the stairs, and banged up my knee really bad. So I went to the hospital and they said i tore some ligaments. Well they also said, they couldnt do anything about it, and that I have to see a specialist. They wouldnt give me any pain killers, they say they can't because of people abusing it. So i have to wait till the specialist see's me. Does anyone know any natural ways i can help with the pain? ANY thoughts are appreciated!! Thanks!

Take ibuprofen, NOT aspirin or Tylenol. The Tylenol will cause swelling but the ibuprofen will reduce it.
Also use ice to control the swelling.
Depending on which you tore and how badly, you might have to have surgery, but after that you can be sure they'll give you pain meds.

ahhaha, thanks. It's just that I've had a lot of sports injuries and I'm studying sports medicine in college right now.
I've also had numerous sprains of ligaments in my knee and had surgery on one 2 years ago.
