Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In The Knee

2 months ago a mechanical dentist chair was lowered on my knee (I was sitting next to it) and nearly popped my kneecap before the technician found the reverse button. There was heavy bruising, but no clots found during an Ultrasound scan. It was getting better, but now the knee is stiff in the morning, when I sit/stand/lay in the same position for more than 5 minutes. what s going on?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Due to the injury probably you have suffered contusion in the knee joint.
I would recommend pain killers , and most importantly exercises to build up thigh muscles.
MRI of the knee would be helpful in diagnosis the knee injury.
The healing for knee contusion takes place in 4-6 weeks. So it should have healed by now. So please get an MRI .

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
