Had Contusion In Knee, Undergoing Physical Therapy. Swelling, Pain While Walking, Climbing Stairs. Normal?
A month ago, a person landed on my knee. My doctor is calling the injury a contusion. I had an xray and it showed nothing wrong. I am now going to physical therapy. The pain is not bad in the a.m. but gets worse if I walk on hard floors and while going up and down stairs. There is slight swelling. The pain is located in the upper part of my knee. Can a contusion cause pain that lasts this long?

Welcome to HCM.,
Pain is most likely due to soft tissue injury surrounding that knee joint.
Better avoid climbing stairs till pain is there.
Take nsaid with serretiopeptidase.
Apply nsaid gel locally.Wear knee cap during movements.
Continue physiotherapy under guidance of your doctor.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
