Today I was sailing and hit my knee really hard. Imeadently after I hit my knee it grew a big goose egg or swollen bruise it is very large.. And it s about three inches below my knee cap. I don t know what to do so I m just putting ice on it. How long do you think it will at least stop hurting when I walk? And it s not of any sort of discoloration yet.
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Knot might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
