Having Bruise On Knee And Thigh. Swollen And Sore To Touch. Should I Be Worried?

Thanks for posting your query.
It is normal for the bruises to show a change in color. Since the bruises are seven days old, they are likely to be painful and firm. There is no need to worry. Large bruises often take 3-4 weeks to resolve completely. The numbness that you are having is also completely reversible.
You are doing the right treatment with icing and pain killers. Do watch for any signs of inflammation like redness, intense pain or fever which is suggestive of an infection and a surgical intervention and systemic antibiotics might be required in such a case.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
