How To Treat Bruise And Swelling After Undergoing ACL Reconstruction?

Hello;I had ACL reconstruction (allograft) 2 weeks ago. The bruising is…well…alarming. It is severe. I ve been able to keep the swelling under control until about a week ago; nothing I do prevents it and it is making PT impossible and recovery is extremely, extremely painful. I ve been checked for blood clot and do not have one. I would love to show you pics! Help me. I think something is seriously wrong.
