Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Hematoma Under Knee
Two week ago I injured my leg and had form a huge hematoma right under my knee which seems to have gotten bigger since the incident. I m bruised from the back of my knee all the way down and around my ankle and foot. Today I noticed the hematoma was warm to touch but still is pretty hard. My ankle has been swelling and hurting me. When should I start to be concerned and consider being seen again?

Hi there, thanks for the question.
Haematoma around the knee not subsiding a 2 weeks needs further evaluation by trained specialist. There are chances of it being associated with internal derangement of soft tissues like ligaments. The need for further tests and investigations can be beat assessed by a trained Orthopaedic or sports medicine doctor.
All the best..Regards.
