i took a spill on my bike the other day, and hit my knee cap HARD on a rock. the knee feels fine to move it around, BUT hurts when you touch the cap. AND the area that i hit feels squishy to the touch, whereas the other knee does notis it something i should worry about?
It looks like you have \"pre patellar bursitis\"- what this is an inflammation of the fluid sac (bursa) that is present in front of the knee cap. Being compressed against hard ground caused it to get inflamed and that's why you feel it squishy. Treatment is rest, ice, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Do not take Ibuprofen if you have a history of kidney problems or have had bleeding from your gut or have severe reflux. In that case you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325-650 mg every 4-6 hours. No more than 3,000 mg of Tylenol should be taken in a 24-hour period. If symptoms still persist, then you should see a primary care doctor
