I fell 4 days ago landing on my right knee, I had a very large lump forming as I was sitting on the floor and skun my knee in the process, I can walk on it but is getting stiffness, and is still warm to touch even though I ve been icing it. I now have bruising forming around my ankle. My knee is very dark purple still and red around the knee cap... what else could I do, maybe I did tear something but am walking ok, just having trouble bending it.
Welcome to ChatDoctorDue to your injury there must have been some bleeding in the joint(arthrosis) which can cause knee swelling, pain and redness. Also, some small fracture or ligamenta tear can cause same problem. You need to take x-ray knee and see an orthopedic surgeon. This requires rest to the knee, anti inflammatory tablets and antibiotics if required as per examination and x-ray findings. Regards
