I am 62 working as an RN and tripped on a BP cord and landed bam on my right knee. Huge hematoma just below my patella. Swelling, very little pain, burning, xrayed my joint no fractures. Five days later, my shin is a massive bruise, my anke is swollen and black, the actual knee still has a large bump, how long will this take to improve, and can I expect problems down the road. Walking is ok feel pressure on my knee from swelling, able to bend my knee with no difficulty, tightness. What would you suggest I do to help my body absorb this hematoma quickly.
