I banged the side of my knee on like a wooden bench, i have a bruise &it was green dark, now today it's purple &sore is it ok? &when will it go away?

Should be ok: Bruises will become darker and sore as times goes by. If you can walk, bend, flex your knee without falling over, you probably do not need an X ray. Rest, Ice, Tylenol, (acetaminophen) light wrap can help. If worse get checked. Feel good.
