Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, about four weeks ago, I tripped on a bottom step in our house fell down hard on my knees onto a tile floor. The knee swelled up and bruised, but that healed after about a week or two. Now I have a hard lump on that spot. It only hurts when I press on it or kneel. Could it still be healing? Should I be concerned? Thank you!
1)Strengthen the muscles around your knee. Strong muscles around a joint can help ease pressure on the joint itself.
2)Choose low-impact exercise. Certain activities, such as water aerobics and swimming, don't place continuous weight-bearing stress on your knee joints.
3)Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight contributes to the wear-and-tear damage easily.
Hope that helps
