Hello I was out side when I felt my knee starting to itch and then become painful. when I looked at it the blood vessel had broken it. It is prominant and  tender to the touch, and hurts when I bend my knee. Is this something I should get checked immediatly or will it go away?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, you should be investigated by the nearby doctors. Simple hemorrhage can occur at any places of the body. But hemorrhage with pain in joint should be investigated in detail. I advise you to check for your blood pressure if its higher than you should start the antihypertensive therapy.X-ray of the knee joint is also necessary it will guide us regarding arthrosis. Which requires surgical aspiration. Please restrict the movement of the knee until the complete picture is not clear. You can take the diclofenac tablet under your doctors' guidance. This will relieve the pain. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
