What Causes Sudden Numbness In Legs?

I fell two months ago. I didn t realize I was hurt until I tried to kneel. I could walk and there was no weakness in my leg. However, the side of my knee was extremely tender. Now I am still experiencing numbness on the outside of my leg. In addition my knee still appears swollen.
