Is Coldness Normal If One Has Hit His Knee ?

I injured my left knee and the mri says there is a patella dislocation, bone contusions, and mcl sprain. My dr thinks it is bone contusion not dislocation because the swelling is usually greater with that. It is swollen, I am taking Advil, and my leg is cold even before I ice. Is the coldness normal?

hi you had injury (L) knee and MRI says Patellar dislocation , bone contusion and MCL Sprain and your leg is cold even before you apply ICE.In my opinion Coldness of Leg ( esp if compared to normal leg ) is not normal and i would suggest you to undergo Doppler for arteries and veins ASAP to find out the reason for coldness.
