On December 3 2013 I fell and bruised my knee cap..now I am experiencing a lot of fluid behind the knee and also a lot of swelling around the kneecap…even down into the calf and upper part of my leg… can anything be done to relieve this? thank you ( I am 63 year old female)

I fell and bruised my knee today. No xray; however, the doctor doesn’t believe it’s anything except a bruise. What do I do to prevent complications? I’m using ice packs to reduce the swelling. What else should I do?

2 weeks ago I fell andhurt my knee, I put ice packs on it and have pills for pain, I walk children to school evey morning and when I get back my knee is paining, and when I touch it at the side and bottom of the knee cap it is swelled and hurts, how long will this last

I fell hard on my knee cap about 2 weeks ago in the garage. The garage floor is concerte so the surface was very hard. I saw a 2 doctors and they both said 2 weeks and I should be able to run but I am now on starting my 3rd week with the injury and I am unable to run. Any help for the progress so I can be ready for my college football season.?????
