I fell on a patch of Ice directly onto my knee cap. It instantly swelled double the size with a pretty big bruise on the side. No pain really it s sore and achy but the entire area is more numb than anything. Had X-rays done with no serious results however now it s starting to burn and the lump on my knee is hard and warm
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. It seems to me that you developed a hematoma (collection of blood) around your knee which has now organized. If the swelling has become hard and warm, possibly this has become inflamed and needs to be shown to an orthopedic surgeon at the earliest, who after a personal physical examination might advise you for an MRI of the injured knee joint of yours to reach to the nearest diagnosis. Further management would depend on the clinical findings, and investigation reports. Till that you could go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
