A member asked:

I've had a bruise on knee for almost a week from a sports injury, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ice.: There's not much to do for a bruise. They usually got away in about 2 weeks. Icing the knee, several times per day, may speed up the process.

Dr Finkelstein and another doctor agreed
