<human>: Today I was sailing and hit my knee really hard. Imeadently after I hit my knee it grew a big goose egg or swollen bruise it is very large.. And it s about three inches below my knee cap. I don t know what to do so I m just putting ice on it. How long do you think it will at least stop hurting when I walk? And it s not of any sort of discoloration yet.
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Knot might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). 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 Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
