Banged my knee, should I see a dr?

Question

I banged my knee last week on the corner of a coffee table. It hurt for a day to walk on and was swollen and hot the touch. Didn’t think much of it (other than kicking myself for being a klutz) 
Now it’s been a week and it’s still swollen and sometimes hot to the touch. 
Is this something to see a dr for or does this just sound like a bad knee bang? Lol

Answer

you may have fluid on the knee, but I would call your dr so you can get it checked out

Answer

I think it’s pretty normal. I hit my knee on a chair really hard a couple months ago. It swelled just above my knee to be bigger then my knee. I don’t remember if it was hot to the touch, but it hurt if I walked on it to much for like a month, and the swelling lasted about the same amount of time. I still occasionally have pain. This was the swelling after about 15-30 minutes. I thought I had a picture of it after a day or two but I don’t. Also the bump to the right is the swelling, the bump to the left is my knee. (I do special fix makeup so I take pictures of my injuries/bruises, I’m not weird for having a picture of an injury that happened like 9 months ago I promise 😂)
