Hi, I fell down last night, and hit my right knee very hard. I now have a small, dark red circle on my knee cap, and pain right at that point, but also surrounding my knee cap as well. It hurts more when I sit and its bent, but walking is slightly painful as well...
Hello, I suggest you to have some x-ray of the knee as you may have a nondisplaced fracture of patella (knee cup). This diagnosis should be ruled out. If x-ray is normal then is a simple soft tissue contusion that needs to be treated with rest, ice, elevation, and elastic bandage or knee brace and some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
