Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
As you are able to walk normally, a bony
injury (
fracture) can be ruled out both in your ankle and knee joint.
The reason for pain in your knee while kneeling could be due to the formation of a prepatellar
hematoma (blood clot infront of the knee cap).
Generally, this should resolve spontaneously within 1-2 weeks without any issues.
The initial management of the Hematoma is as follows -
* Rest to the injured part and dont involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues.
* Ice packing should be applied for about 20 minutes once in every 2 hours.
* Use elastic compression bandage around the swollen area
* Elevation of the limb
*
Analgesic & anti inflammatory medications
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
