Suggest Treatment For Sore, Swollen And Bruise Knee

Hello. I recently hurt my knee 5 days ago by diving after a ball in a volleyball game. The knee swole immediately & turned red. It was sore & swollen for about 2 days. The swelling went down & pain went away. However when that happened I noticed a lot of black brusing under the knee down to my ankle is black & blue. Now I feel tension & more soreness in my knee. Please advise.

hi,

your mechanism of injury explained looks like a sports injury. I recommend you to try hot water fermentation and post that lying on your back with the legs elevated over the pillow for 10-15 minutes. during this time try doing ankle toe movements. post this keep lying on your back and do some straight leg raise and post that some static quadriceps and hamstring. I am sure your query for pain and swelling will come down and later in future if you keep doing this exercises will help you avoid sport injuries .
