    So I smacked my knee pretty hard two weeks ago. Sore leg as in a dead leg, lots of bruising most of which has slid down to my ankle.
    But my knee is still swollen.
    Bottom and inside quadrant. In fact it feels like fluid as when I prod it the swelling move around. It definitely feels like fluid in a bag.
    What’s going on. Pretty sure it’s not cat aids.
    Had a 3km run Monday and no pain but I’d like it to settle soon please.

    That sounds like a proper bang.

    RICE? rest, ice, compression and elevation. I’d get some tubigrip on it to reduce the swelling, and elevate while you’re watching TV. Probably some rest wouldn’t go amiss, and ice to reduce any inflammation too. I’d probs be rubbing some germolene into all the bruising and taking some ibuprofen as well (even if it’s not too painful)

    Two weeks ago you say? Maybe pop into the local walk in centre?

    Hematoma? Banged my knee in July, it’s still swollen. Can take a long time to break down, granted mine was 13x8x3cm.

    RICE, get it looked at if you can, it’ll probably be X-rayed and show nothing and maybe a month or so later if it’s still a problem you ‘might’ get a scan.

    I had a decent prang coming off my bike, hip was sore but ok, but then progressively got worse over a couple of weeks, then got better slowly. I took it easy but kept mobile

    Found a great pic of  my Hematoma. Does it look like this?
