Knee Swelling, Soreness From Knee To Ankle, Bruising, Treatment?
Hi, You most probably would have injured the prepatellar bursa. Please get an X-ray done. Apply ice packs locally twice daily till the swelling subsides. Do not play for a week more. Give adequate rest to your knee. You shall be fine soon. Take care.
