How Must An Indentation Below The Left Knee Along With Bruised Patella Post Injury Be Treated?

Hello. I woke up with an indentation in the skin below my left knee. I had a serious fall two weeks ago, landing on my left knee. Resulted in a bruised patella, no broken bones. There s pain, it s difficult to walk or climb stairs, feels like it s going to hyper-extend sometimes.

Hello,

The indentation could be related to soft tissues swelling. Coming to this point, I recommend using local anti-inflammatory ointment and physiotherapy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
