Will Ice And Naproxen Help For Lump On Knee?

I was playing volleyball and I dove for a ball. I must have hit below my knee somehow. Now there is a lump below my knee about the size of my knee. It is starting to bruise. I was told to take naproxen and put ice on it. Should I expect this to go down?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

That swelling can be a hematoma. Continue the same treatment you are already taking. It should go in a few weeks time.

If pain increses or it becomes warm or red then show to a physician as it signifies infection in there.

Regards
