What Is The Treatment For Pain In Leg After Stitches In Knee?

Had stitches in my knee about 2-3 months ago.... I was cut with glass throwing out the trash, I'm still having lots of pain and when I gold my leg on top of the other I can feel a ball under the skin that hurts so bad without even having to apply pressure

I have studied your case with diligence.
There i s possibility of bursal injury near knee,leading to swelling.

So I will advise to take an MRI knee to see ligament injury.
Do ice fomentation and use knee immobiliser
