Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could tell me what is going on with my knee. I fell last Monday after tripping over a curb in a parking lot. I went face down on the concrete walkway and tore up the side of my hand and banged my knees.
Well, it is almost a week later and I still can't bend my left knee. I can walk without pain as long as I keep my leg straight. I can't bend it though or touch the top of the kneecap without intense pain. I also feel pressure inside my kneecap when I try to bend it.
I kept thinking it would get better but I am starting to worry. Has anyone else ever had anything like this? The strange thing is that the knee looks fine. It isn't swollen or bruised that I can see. Nor did it get scratched up since I was wearing pants when I fell. It just hurts.
I am tired of limping.
