How To Treat A Large Bruise Around Knee Causing Intense Burning Sensation?

I have a very large, bruise on the inside of my leg, knee region, that I got from a quad accident last Wednesday (approximately 6 days ago). I am now getting a deep burning sensation in the center part of this bruise (which is white and swollen). Is this normal?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain deep burning sensation along with pain and bruising after a quad accident can be due to inflammation and infection at the site of injury..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician or a General Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation done..
A color Doppler can also be advised if needed.

In case if there is soft tissue injury and no infection he can advise you to take Anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen..
Apply cold compresses over the area..
Elevation of leg while lying down..
Apply an analgesic ointment like Diclofenac..
In case of infection Oral and injectable antibiotics and steroids can be advised..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
