Suggest Treatment For Purple Brownish Lump Along With Bruising On Knee
A couple days ago I squatted down to pet my dog just a minute or two then I felt a small pop in my knee so I stood up to find a quarter sized lump had formed with slight bruising. As of now it looks black and purplish brown, still a small lump under the bruise and is moderately painful. What should I do?
I would visit a doctor for an in-person exam. A classic condition associated with a popping sound is a meniscusinjury. An MRI would show exactly what happened.
