Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last year I got a Contusion on my Knee, even after i went through the healing process the knee still hurts. When I shower I lift one leg up to shave it and the knee wobbles and hurts. Even writing this my knee hurts. It isn t a bad pain it just is like a nagging kinda hurt pain. If there is anything you may know and can tell me that would be great. Thank you!
The painful knee seem to be related to the contusion. Most contusions simply require time to heal. Bone contusions take a bit longer, usually one to two months, depending on how severe the injury is. As you recover, you can use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to maintain the knee elevated.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
