Suggest Treatment For Knee Injury

fell 2 weeks ago and hit all weight on left knee. was black and blue all over and that is going away. Can walk and its not painful but feels very still and swells and bruises down my leg all the way to ankle. Do you think its a hematoma? knee swollen but has gone down. I have twin toddlers so can't really stay off my feet all day but do keep it elevated and iced. anything else i can do and how long do these things take to heal? when its in a brace i can walk well kind of stiff feeling but its better since the fall.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
I would suggest you to show it to orthopaedic surgeon and get MRI of the knee joint to make sure that there is no inside problem like meniscus injury or ligament injury. I would also like to suggest you to take Brufen for pain relief along with ice application and compression bandage.
