What Causes Swelling And Pain In Knees?

Hi, so about three weeks ago I was in practice and got hit by a baseball right above my ankle. There was a lot of swelling and quite bit of pain at first, in that went away within the first week. Since then there has been no noticeable swelling, but under the skin it still seems to be really hard, while the same spot on my other leg is soft. Any answers to why this won t go away and what it is?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history.

As per the history and mechanism of injury this appears to me more of a lump tissue and with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and kneeding massage therapy the tissues can be reactivated and the problems can be solved.
