Treatment for a bone bruise - Anquan Boldin knee bone bruise

Submitted by Doctor Hibbert on Thu, 2005-11-03 13:39.

The Arizona Cardinals were supposed to be one of the surprising teams in the NFL this year. It hasn't been a good year for them. Last week, in a game against the Dallas Cowboys, Anquan Boldin suffered an injury. It was thought that Anquan Boldin had a devastating knee injury, but it turned out be a very treatable knee bone bruise. Anquan Boldin was the NFL's 2003 Rookie of the Year, and is known for his physical play. This isn't the first injury for him and probably won't be the last.

What is a knee bone bruise? Bone bruises are also known as periosteal. The most painful bruises, they can sometimes take months to heal.

i was hit at hockey and it took them 3 months to figure out thati had a bone bruise. it hurts a lot, even after 3 months. i do physio twice a week, but it doesn't really help. the pain comes a lot when the weather changes and it gets really stiff. basically, bone bruises are irritating.

I was in a car accident in 2003 and had my knees crushed against the dashboard. I was diagnosed as having a bone bruise on my left knee. To date i still have discoloration on the area that was hit and it is still very painful and stiff, especially during inclimate weather. There is also an indentation that seems to be getting larger which i have been unable to determine is part of a bigger problem.

I opened a convertable sofa 2 years ago and the bar crashed right into my leg. The pain was the worse thing in my entire 59 years. Now, two years later it's back again. Anything that agratates the area will bring it back. Two years ago I did streatching (with weights on the ankle) and kept that up for 3 months and walked 2 hours a day. The pain subsided. Now that it's back, my doctor has suggested that I start a regiment of two advil 3 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to try and break the pain cycle and to keep doing the stretching exercises and to keep walking.

Good luck and Hang in there.

bone bruises on a 9 yr old?

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2006-02-06 22:22.

My son was just had xrays due to pain in his knees and having a hard time getting up. Bone bruises. How does a 9 yr old get these? Sure boys are active and reckless....but, he is typically average. I dont understand! He has other soreness in back,hips and ankle, so we are having these parts xrayed as well. My doc couldnt tell me much ,being inexperienced with this. He's a tough kid too, and has to really be in pain before he even complains. Poor Babe...I dont know what to do till all the results are in.

Did he grow even since?
