I had a fall 11 days ago. I fell on my right knee. It was immediately sore and swollen. I developed significant bruising on and around the knee within hours. I rested my leg for 3 consecutive days by elevating it. I applied a cold towel to try and stem the swelling in my lower leg. As the days progressed more of my lower leg became bruised and now some 11 days after injury I have total bruising from about 3 inches above the knee to my foot and into my toes. I also have significant swelling of my knee to my foot. i have been hospitalised in the meantime because the pain from the bruising and swelling got unbearable and I was concerned that I would exacerbate dvt which I previously had in my leg. I have been taking Xarelto tablets for the past few months and I think this has also contributed to the severity of my injury. I am on antibiotics at the moment for the swelling and bruising. I have returned to work and now have ongoing pain, bruising and swelling. I try to elevate my leg as much as possible at work as well as at home. Is there anything else I can be doing to recover from this injury and heal quicker. I should also note that the leg has been xrayed and an ultra sound done which have confirmed no break but a small amount of fluid in my knee with no evidence of dvt.
