Is this just bruising or something serious??? help

[austynmauzy]

I was recently playing volleyball about 2 weeks ago and i was diving for a ball hitting the same part of my knee on the ground (lateral side of knee). Ever since the 3rd time hitting it on the ground i noticed swelling in the spot and a little bit of pain, then 2 weeks later i am playing again and still landing on the same part of my knee, instantly after my knee feels stiff and very painful to move and walk. Im really not sure if its just bruising or if i really did do something serious, it gets worse every time i hit the ground, help !

It's hard to say but would assume that it is recurring that it is an injury you need to have a doctor weight in on.  Schedule time with either an orthopedic doctor or trainer.  Let us know what they say.
