Is A Lump Caused After A Fall Is A Cause Of Concern?
I fell a few weeks ago snowboarding really hard on my knees and they were bruised and swollen for days. i iced and rested and they got better until today my one knee just exploded with a big lump that feels very fluidish inside? Is this an emergency or can i wait overnight to go see doctor?

With history of trauma to knee joint better to get examined by a qualified doctor. sudden onset of swelling in knee could be a fluid collection or bleeding with in joints, needs immediate treatment.
