What Could Lumps On Knee Post An Injury Suggest?
I fell on my knee on the concrete 1 month ago. The area was bruised and scabbed. It has since healed, but there is now a large hard lump on my knee cap. It is about the size of a gumball. Does no feel fluid filled. It is in fact very hard like bone, but is only mildly tender when touched. What is it? Will it go away?

Hi,Greetings from HCM. since you fell on a concrete slab you must have suffered a heamatoma in the knee . once heamatoma is organised it will feel like a hard swelling instead of fluid.you need give cold compresses to prevent it getting bigger.you also need to take paracetamol and diclofenac tablets to get relief.It will take along time to resolve spontaneously.you better go to an orthopedician and drain heamatoma and take adequate rest.Hope you will be fine
