How To Reduce The Swelling Due To Knee Sprain And Bruise After Being Grounded ?
Was diagnosed by doc w/knee sprain & bruise after being tackled to ground over a week ago. Knee looks better/swelling has decreased significantly. Started a little rehabbing w/stretch bands. Still a lump underneath skin on bottom part of knee. Is tgere reason for concern...ligaments or left over blood?
Thank you for asking on HCM. If I was your consulting physician i would suggest: 1. Nothing to worry, sprains take some time (upto 2-3 weeks) to recover,depending on the severity. 2. It may be left over blood unlikely ligaments. However to check for ligaments there are certain clinical tests. 3. Apply non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream available OTC and put a crepe bandage on it. 4. Also you can soak a pad in warm water and do gentle massage for 10-15 mins for few days.
I hope you find this helpful.
