    GP would be the next step I'd say.

    What happened that she has it, was it a fall/twist/from exercise?

    Usually you'd apply the RICE procedure if it was one of the above (Rest Ice Compression Elevation).

    When did it happen?

    My physio's advised me to wait for 48 hours before going to see her before after an injury to allow time for inflammation etc to go down so the extent of damage can be accurately assessed (obviously use the RICE method in the mean time)

    If you're concerned, get to the doctor.

    Cof cof cof. :pac:

    Right, firstly stop panicking.

    Secondly apply RICE and if it gets worse go to the GP/VHI clinic.
