Suggest Remedy For Bruise And Numbness On Knee Due To Falling Down

I had a fall on my knee and fell very hard. It appears to be numb right round the knee area ( also feels very soft to touch) and down the calf of my leg also is numb. It also appears that the bruising is still coming out. I fell about 10 days ago. What should I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bruise and numbness on knee due to falling down. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve injury , hematoma , dislocated knee and soft tissue injury . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , take ibuprofen for pain and do gentle massage with almond oil. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination .Doctor may order CT scan along with MRI and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , muscle relaxant along with nerve supplement like neurobion forte . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy and surgery in severe damage .
