Fell And Got Hurt On The Knee. Xray Is Normal. Now It Is Sore. Tried Ice, Elevation. Ankle Swollen. Is Painful. Should I Be Worried About The Findings?

I fell almost 2 weeks ago on concrete. Left knee too all the fall. Terrible painful. X rayed that night showed no break. Released me with antiinflam and rest. That was on Sunday. Very sore. Next couple days tried to keep iced and elevated. Friday morning I woke up with ankle on that left swollen to double its size and black and purple over whole ankle and down to bottom of foot. Went to dr. Did ultrasound. No blood clots. Recommend MRI because still so much pain and daily additional bruises. Ins co won't authorize MRI until I try 6 weeks of PT. it hurts when my pants touch my leg and can only wear sandals that don't touch bruises. How will this help and what is causing these bruises,to spread?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is soft tissue injury with microvascular circulation crushes, that causes the blue purpel color swelling (blood collection beneath skin) it will take another three week for complete resolution, only thing is important is this should not get infection, else every thing will be fine take care of your self and have great day.
