What Causes Hard And Numb Lump On Knee After Falling Down?
I fell directly on my knee over a week and a half ago. Went to ER and confirmed nothing broke. Still have a significant bruise as well as a hard, numb lump on the side and front of my knee cap. (Looks like an egg) I can walk, sometimes painful. Knee is VERY tender to the touch. Any ideas what the lump could be?

Hi there.
The lump could be a blood collection or haematoma. Apply ice and keep the limb elevated. It should resolve in a couple of weeks.
