Hi there, I missed catching something that was tossed at me today and it hit my right kneecap in the upper area. It hurt quite a bit and had to be iced to deal with the pain. I can walk without pain but I have a goose egg and bruising and the area is very tender.do I need to see a Dr?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Knot might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
