How long does it take for knee swelling to go down around upper knee after a hyperextended knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee swelling: It depends upon the amount of energy and injury-type. A quad pull or partial tear may stay swollen. A hematoma may stay swollen. A synovitis may wax and wane. Should be examined if not improved.
