Will ice and naproxen help for lump on knee?
Patient: I was playing volleyball and I dove for a ball. I must have hit below my knee somehow. Now there is a lump below my knee about the size of my knee. It is starting to bruise. I was told to take naproxen and put ice on it. Should I expect this to go down? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM.That swelling can be a hematoma. Continue the same treatment you are already taking. It should go in a few weeks time.If pain increses or it becomes warm or red then show to a physician as it signifies infection in there.RegardsDr. Ashish Verma
