7 days ago I tripped and fell only knees. No apparent breaks but bruised badly. A knot came up on onside of left leg near the knee. I have continued to walk but swelling gets worse and bruises worsen. All the way to my ankles. Stiff due to swelling. I am taking Celebrex. Is this normal and will it get better if I slow down and elevate it more?
Post bruising swelling all along the leg needs physical check by orthopedic doctor to screen for infection or cellulitis and to assess whether antibiotic cover is required. Elevating is good. Possibly radiological/scan assessment of knee
