Haematoma in left knee caused by a car a
I had a haematoma in my left knee in November after meeting with a car accident, and it was cleared in due time by an ortho surgeon. He asked me to do physiotherapy for two weeks, and unfortunately, I could not as a result of which I feel a continuous strain in my left knee even now.
Is there any point of going for physio now? I was wondering how I can perhaps tend to it, at this juncture?

First we need to ascertain if your gemstones is resolved. There can be two types of hematoma in knee. One is superficial, below the skin. This resolves slowly with rest, ice and anti inflammatory medicines.
Second is more crucial, that is. Leading with in the joint. If that is, then it means you may have torn a ligament or injured bone inside. What will help is that first clinical evaluation to find out if there are knee ligament or other injuries, get eleventh tests like x ray or MRI done. Once we know what the problem is , then we can easily treat it.
So I would request you to not just randomly go to physiotherapist for treatment. See a sport injury doc and get yourself evaluate.
