+You are a helpful assistant.,i had a bad fall pain is still the same?,hi in my opinion haematoma caused by contusion gets drained downwards or to the back of the knee before it goes away. also i think you should have a knee mri such a strong fall could have cracked patella or injured the meniscus.

+You are a helpful assistant.,i’ve had this off balance/unsteady feeling in my head doctors are clueless?,this is commonly occuring with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (bppv) is caused by a problem in the inner ear. tiny calcium “stones” inside your inner ear canals help you keep your balance. normally when you move a certain way such as when you stand up or turn your head these stones move around. but things like infection or inflammation can stop the stones from moving as they should. this sends a false message to your brain and causes the vertigo. i̇t can be treated by positioning exercises at a professional physotehra post or neurologist. regards
