What Is The Suggestion For Severe Knee Pain And Swelling After A Fall?
I fell Friday night straight down on my knee. It swelled heavily within a minute and i couldn t bend it due to pain. It is very bruised and the swelling around my knee hasn t gone down much if any and a tuna can sized area below my knee is swollen but has a spongy and firm felling. I still cant really bend it without pain, if I go very slow i can bend it but it starts to burn so i have to straighten it. It aches if i stand but i can support my weight. I don t have insurance and I m not sure if I need to go to the doctor or not.
