Suggest Treatment For Tender And Bruised Knee
i fell yesterday flat on my right knee. I was able to get up and walk to my gate board plane and my knee later started showing discoloration over patella. Tenderness as well. I could still walk. It is bruised and tender. I can do leg raises flex and straighten. Possible fracture?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
