Is Swollen, Bruised And Discolored Knee Post Injury To Knee A Cause For Concern?
I was hit with a softball full force from a line drive 1 inch below my knee cap. The bruising spread down my entire leg and my bruise is mostly black. The impact spot is a weird white/yellow color. It s still swollen and it s been 11 days and the left side of my leg hurts but not the impact spot. Should I see a doctor since I ve been practice on it still?

Hi
since it was a soft ball you can wait for a few days and see if it settles. mean while be on rest and take analgesics.. if you find that after weeks rest its not responding, than you can go for consultation and investigation.
