I now have a softball sized swollen knee and my leg is just one big bruise. its been 2 weeks and it seems to just get more painful everyday. Now suddenly i have to very sore spots in my mouth on the back of my bottom gums just under my toungue.
Hi... Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns... As per your complaint swollen knee along with bruising is due to traumatic injury to the soft tissues leading to rupture of small blood vessels that are causing spillage of blood into the soft tissues causing formation of a hematoma and bruise. There is also accumulation of inflammatory cells, exudate, ruptured capillaries, fibres leading to swelling and at times hard area at the site of injury. Nothing to worry you can do cold compresses over the swollen area for reducing swelling, apply a heparin containing gel for faster fading of bruise. Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevate your leg while lying on bed. The sores in mouth seem to be canker sores, and you can do warm saline gargles, apply a numbing gel containing Choline salicylate over it and suck on ice pops. Avoid spicy and hard foods. They will resolve within a week. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
