Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Bruise On The Knee

Hi - 28 weeks pregnant and had a fall 7 days ago.

Last Saturday I fell down onto a concrete surface, landing on my hands and knees. I had myself checked out quickly and was told I'd done no cartilage injury, which having done this to my left knee two years ago and being familiar with the pain type, I'm happy with. Baby completely fine, rolling around as per normal.

However, the bruising is starting to dissipate on the right knee, and at the very top of the knee (when you bend your knee, it's literally the first bit that isn't your leg) it's becoming extremely painful when pressed. Even trousers are an issue.

I can walk fine, and even fully bend the knee if there's no fabric pushing it (though it's a bit uncomfortable). It's just a bit gristly and 'poppy' when I touch it, and doing so makes me yelp, and just worried I've chipped something off a bit!

As mentioned, 28 weeks pregnant on top of this.

Any ideas or recommendations welcome!
