Bruised my knee 2 weeks ago.pain has gotten better but still goes from ankle to just above knee,still black.could there be something wrong inside it?

Yes: There absolutely could be something more going on beyond a simple" bruise" including possibly a torn ligament or meniscus. Even if you are feeling better, it might be good to be seen to make sure it is nothing more serious.
