Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Fell Hard On Knee, Lump Formed. Stiff, Uncomfortable And Sensitive To Touch. Worried?
Two weeks ago I fell hard on my right knee . I could still walk on it and it was only a bit stiff and uncomfortable to bend. I had no problem lifting my extended leg while lying down. It swelled up and I did a RICE treatment for the next few days. I had a lot of trouble going downstairs at first but now it is just a mild discomfort. It is also slightly uncomfortable to twist while i a bearing my weight. Sitting is slightly uncomfortable if my leg is bent at any more than a right angle. But all in all over the two weeks it has been getting consistently better and the swelling has gone away. So for my question, now that I can actually see my knee, there is a marble size lump right on the front of my knee that feels like a bone and is a bit sensitive to the touch. Should I be worried? or is it just part of the healing process?

I would go to your dr and have an X-ray of your knee to ensure you did not fracture you knee when you injured it.
