When Will The Bruise On Knee Due To Slamming On Floor That Is Swollen And Hurts Cure ?
I have a bruise on my knee that really hurts. It has a pink and purple around a big white circle where when i run i feel piercing pain. When i first fell on my knee which created the bruise i was playing basketball and another player landed on me and my knee slammed the floor. Instantly afterward it bumped out the size of a golf ball. What is wrong?

Hi
I think the bursa over the knee has been inflammed and due to which it has swollen.
You try with ice application and mild analgesic for 1week. If you dont see any changes in swelling and pain then you should consult orthopaedic surgeon for excision of bursa.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
