haematoma

[austin]

hi

i fell off my bike a couple of months ago and sustained a haematoma just under my knee...its been 2 months now and the bruising has gone, but there still seems to be some fluid retention, and i still can't kneel on it.

any suggestions as to what to do, or is it simply a waiting game?

any help would be much appreciated
thanks

It can be a bit of a waiting game, however there are some things you can do to try to help remove the swelling. For example:

Wearing a compression bandage
Raising the leg when resting
Getting some massage to the surrounding areas
Using hot/cold baths

Good luck!
