How To Treat Lump Under Knee Cap?

I fell yesterday going up some rock steps. I developed bruising about 2 hours after and a lump just under the knee cap. It s sore to touch. I can walk on it but to put any pressure like climbing in the bed hurts badly. My leg is tingling just below the knee.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to have -Traumatic Edema with Post-Patellar Bursitis of the knee Cap with Contusion of the Tibial upper end.
Treatment Suggested-
Orthopedic Surgeons Opinion with Xray of the Knee
Rest / Cold Compresses.
Anti-Inflammatory drugs x 5 days
IF no relief, your orthopedic doctor would re-assess the case and would treat it accordingly.
Possibility of the bony injury needs to be ruled out by Xray and Usg of the lump and by Orthopedic Surgeon's Second Opinion if the lump does not regress in 5 days time.

Hope this reply would help you
