Hello,
As the doctor examines and confirmed it's an internal bruising I think he is right. But to clear your doubt you should take up an MRI of the knee which will help understand the soft tissue injuries if happened while meeting an accident.
You can arrange an appointment with a physiotherapist so he can help you with proper knee rehabilitation and get your best outcome results for the knee.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
