Have Bruise On Knee, Liquid-filled Lump. What To Do?
I got a bad bruise on my knee about a week ago. I iced it after i got it but it was still pretty bad. the bruise is nearly gone but there is a squishy lump where it was. If I massage it it feels numb and i think there is liquid in it. also i can feel a small thing inside it that moves around freely. What is the lump? What should I do? Should I be concerned? Can I still play football?

Hi,
It seems that you have developed hematoma.
You have to take rest for about two weeks.
There is a collection of blood underneath the skin.
It is clotted... And then it is absorbed back in blood vessels gradually.
Apply thrombophob oint.
Take vitamin C and K.
Antibiotics may be taken for 1 to 2 weeks.
Do not worry, if you feel to consult somebody , consult dermatologist or surgeon.
Thanks.
