Bruised knee?!


Question:

Bruised knee?

I fell a week ago on concrete and I fell directly on my knees. They are all scraped up but it's scabbed now. My right knee has been killing me since. It feels so sore and achy, and it's bruised still. Like I said, this happened a week ago. Any suggestions? Please. Thanks a lot!


Answers:

I am sending my sympathies! has it occured to you to see a doctor and have that knee x-rayed? A tiny chip of bone may have come off the knee cap and is now floating in there. There was probably bleeding inside the cavity which is now causing pressure on the nerves.
Put your leg up, higher than your heart, several times a day. Use hot compresses ( a towel soaked in hot water) several times a day. Use aspirin for pain and to thin your blood ( no more than 2 pills, four times a day.)
If you see no improvement after 3 days, off to the doctor you go!
