Question : I fell on my knee a week ago and have lots of bruising with a goose egg below the kneecap. The bending of my knee has improved a lot, I am using ice on it and taking Tylenol. How long will the goose egg stay?

Brief Answer: 2 weeks more. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your query. Since one week has already pass it will take 2 more weeks to completely get every thing correct. You may stop taking tylenol when ever pain is stopped and form now own-words you should apply hot packs in morning and evening instead of ice packing. try to avoid squatting and upstairs as much as you can. You will be completely alright in next 2 weeks i,e goose egg will stay only upto 10-12 days more. I hope it helps. You are welcome to ask further health related queries.
