Question: Very bruised and snore knees, could there be anything severely wrong.? do i treat with heat or cool.?

feel onto my knees (alot!) when snowboarding, all my weight went on to one knee, it's not very bruised and sore to walk, straighten or bend very far. could i have done anything to the bones, or is it most likely to just be badly bruised.?
also, is it better to treat it with heat or cool gels/packs .?
thanks. Health Question & Answer

Answers:

If you are able to bend it AT ALL, it's just a bruise. Take Ibprophen (sp.?) to reduce swelling, then icy to numb the pain, hot to relax it away. At least take a couple before bed time so the morning isn't so painful. They are strictly to reduce swelling. Just don't push yourself during healing and good luck.Health Question & Answer
