Suggest Cure For Numbness On The Knee Cap

Hi! I fell leaving a resturant about two weeks ago. I tripped over a curb and sprained my ankle and all of my weight pretty much landed on my right knee. The bruising is gone now as is most of the pain, but I have an area to the lower right of my knee cap that feels numb. When I say numb I mean that when I touch it with my hand I can t feel it. I feel the pressure, but the sensations seem to be gone. An example of this is that when I scratch I feel pressure, but no scratching. I had X-rays taken at the ER the day after my fall and they were normal. Please help!! This is really starting to worry me!!

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your knee and ankle due to fall. Everything is Okay but you have numbness in area of knee cap. I think this may be due to injury to nerve of knee joint. Mecobalamine is useful in neuralgic pain. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief.It will recover after some time nearly 2-3weeks. Becomplex and vitamin C are helpful in recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
