Suggest Medication For Pain And Swelling Of Knee

I fell hard on concrete and landed on my right knee, the lower (underneath) the knee on the inside of my leg swelled up and bruised to about the size of a grapefruit, its been 2 weeks bruising is going away except on one particular area that is hard (a hard bump) and hurts immensely and the area is still swollen, when I walk the knee hurts very bad where my knee meets my leg bone, what could it be?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you had knee and inside of leg injury. It seems to me soft tissue injury .As walking is painful at joint line it seems to me as ligament injury. But X-ray should be done to exclude fracture. These injuries are slow to heal , may took 2-3 weeks time to heal.Its treatment assuming soft tissue injury is rest to part. Quadriceps exercises and mobilization exercises of knee will help in regaining movements of knee.Analgesic ( ibuprofen) will be helpful in pain relief. You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing.MRI of knee joint will be of use to study injury in detail and better management. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
