A member asked:
I fell and took a blow to the left knee. it is still swollen and bruised after 5 days. should i go to the hospital?

Yes: A simple bump would have resolved by now. The persistent bruising and swelling tells you it needs to be checked. You may have damaged tendons or ligaments or your cartilage. Be seen and diagnosed. All the best.
