Suggest Treatment For Black And Blue Swelling In Knee
I am on cumin tin warferin for 3 week now, treating a lung clot. A few hours ago it hit my right leg about 3-4 inches below my knee on a sharp part of my bed frame. It now has swelled up and is black and blue. Im concerned, about what to do. I got my first blood clot after a car accident in July 2010. I was treated for the blood clotting (DVT) in my both legs and had severe himotoses. for a few months.

Hi,
I think that seems bruise to me. You should apply crepe bandage which will decrease your swelling and apply ice for 15 minutes every two hours. Avoid knee bending and cross leg sitting.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
