Hello. I was in a motorcycle accident 3 months ago. I had a swollen and bruised lump below my right knee cap. It actually looked like I had a third knee. 3 months later the lump is pretty much gone, but the area is tender with a patch of grey/black bruising and I have numbness in that area. I was checked out by a paramedic, but never had an x-ray. Do you think I m healing okay? Seems like it s taking a long time to heal totally.
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an orthopedic surgeon in regard to your knee. A medical and physical examination will be of great help. It might be the inflammatory or fibrotic reaction which brought the lump on your knee. But is best evaluated clinically. Further diagnostics, such as imaging (x-ray or MRI) and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
