Is Flying Safe With An Injured Knee?

Hi, I had a fall last week and my knee is still bruised, painful to touch, and hot. It was a heavy fall so not worried too much as it still moves okay and it feels like soft tissue injury. I to fly on a flight for 1.5 hours on Sunday, I am just checking to see if that is okay?
