What Causes Pain And Indentation In Knee Cap After An Injury?

I feel hard onto my knee while running around a pool. Cement. It hurt but not crying hurt. Anyway it s been a week and the pain is almost gone and I have been to the gym to lift, ran three miles today, but there is a definite indentation in the knee cap where I fell. I am worried I fractured it or tore a ligament. Don t want to jump the gun and go the scoot cause I have been to see him five times this year already. What is the indentation? Will it heal or do I needed medical attention before my knee just gives out?
