Lower right inner right side on my knee is bruised and swollen and opposite side!
Question: Lower right inner right side on my knee is bruised and swollen and opposite side?
I fell on my inner side right knee twice at a basketball game and after the game is was swollen. The next day it was bruised like a purple green color and i couldn't really move the back of my knee to the left. Two days later the opposite side of my knee is swollen to and the bruise is getting worse.the bruise is the size of a golf ball and it doesn't really hurt when i poke it only when i move my knee to the left. I think i did something to my meniscus so help!

Your best bet would be to go to the doctor because if you have done something to the meniscus, it needs to be taken care of right away. The longer you put it off, the more damaged it can get. Sometimes it requires surgery, depending on the severity. Until you go to the doctor, keep doing RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevation). That will help keep the swelling down. Best of luck to you, friend. Hope it gets better soon!
