What Causes Bruising Along With Severe Pain In Leg?

I fell off my bed two weeks ago and fell full force onto the left side of my right knee I only got a small bruise but it is still swollen and the pain in it is excruciating even while resting.. I can t put my leg straight or flat whilst lying down and my leg feels like it s a little twisted? Unsure of whether to go to A&E though I don t want to waste their time of it s just a bruise?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, the bruise is the external sign but is probably that you have some inflammatory process products to the trauma, I advice you some pain and anti-inflammatory treatment for 7-10 days and of course try to moderate your physical activity if in 3 weeks you don't improve your symptoms or even those are getting worse you need go to the doctor for a medical exam. I hope that my advice has been helpful.
