I had an unfortunate slip and fall accident at the gym in November, fell and banged my knee really, really hard (and at a weird angle). Xrays and MRI indicate it's "just" a bruise, possibly a bone bruise. Anyone else here ever had a bruise that took months to heal? My acupuncturist, the pt, etc. keep telling me it WILL heal (and it better- I have a bike trip in Italy booked in May!), but progress is slow to nonexistent. It still hurts to stand for more than a minute or so, and it's been 6 weeks. They tell me it's because the bruise was very deep, and it's still healing. Plus circulation stinks in the knee.

Anyone have an experience to share? I am worried.

Thanks,
Amy
