thanks for this - i have been on the road for the last week and a half so not been able to ice really, i'll look into trying this out, would NSAID's help?

There is soreness when resting in bed and also flexing the knee to drive causes some pain. What i dont really understand is that when i actually hurt this apart from the initial impact pain it was pretty much fine, this lingering soreness seems to have crept in over tha last week and a half or so.

thanks
