Bad fall on my knees, resulted in bloody contusions and bad bruising on 7/3.on 7/6 my lt ankle is little swollen.is this nml for a delayed swelling reaction? or something more worrisome?

Two possibilities: One possibility is you could have injured ankle with the fall but I suspect the second possibility is more likely and that is that you had swelling in your knee you got what’s called a Baker’s cyst with swelling on the back of the knee then down the leg. the question I have is whether you see any blood coloration on that leg
