Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Knee After An Accident
Hi I got in a ATV accident a few days ago and hit my knee. That day I had a lot of swelling so I iced it and the next day the swelling went dow and it started to bruise. But now i notice a soft spot on the top of my knee and when i push it it hurts a little bit and I think i feel bones or cartilage in my knee which is loose and moving.

Hi.
The first thing would be to continue with a warm compress for a few days. If you feel the swelling and apin seem to be subsiding then there should be no cause for concern, you can also use an NSAID (e.g. ibuprofen) in the meantime.
But if there is no significant improvement then it would be best to visit a doctor for a physical examination as well as an xray of the region.
Best wishes.
