A member asked:

I had a fall and cut my left knee requiring 6 stitches. it is very bruised, swollen and infected. am on antibiotics and 48hrs bed rest. why bed rest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: I would advice to have brace on the knee to keep straight so you do not bend the knee and make more swollen.
