- If the swelling does not decrease significantly after a few days, you should consult a doctor. It is possible that fluid has deposited in the knee, which must then be removed through a puncture.
- If you cannot put weight on the knee or if you can no longer bend it, ligaments or the meniscus could be injured. The doctor has to look at this.
- If you are taking a blood thinner and the knee has a thick bruise after the bruise, see a doctor to make sure you have no internal bleeding.
