Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Since the bruise around your knee is painful, a bone injury is likely. You need to get an X-ray of the area done. MRI is the best investigation to diagnose the internal knee joint structures injury. Till then avoid weight bearing on the knee and keep the leg elevated on two pillows.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
