Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful blister on the knee caused after a injury . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like baker's cyst , DVT , hamsting injury , achilles tendonitis or knee sprain. In your case the symptoms seems to be due to hematoma and doctor may drain the hematoma. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor order CT scan, MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory , methotrexate , recommend physical therapy . Doctor may recommend surgical removal of cyst and correction or other condition . For now apply warm compresses on lump , keep your leg elevated while sleeping and do not massage the lump .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
