Brief Answer:
Consideration

Detailed Answer:
hi thanks for the query.

it's likely a superficial injury. if you can bend and stand on the knee the discomfort is likely related to the superficial injury.

try some ibuprofen for the inflammation. a bandage may help promote healing as well.

Detailed Answer:
I think this is most likely related to your fall. Sometimes when we fall it disturbs the mechanics of multiple joints. I would expect us to slowly improve over time.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
