Question : I was running and I fell and scraped my left knee. The scrape is about 1 inch and the skin is scraped off - could I have injured my knee- I can bend it and walk on it

Brief Answer:
Consideration

Detailed Answer:
hi thanks for the query.

it's likely a superficial injury. if you can bend and stand on the knee the discomfort is likely related to the superficial injury.

try some ibuprofen for the inflammation. a bandage may help promote healing as well.
Sincerley,

MY HIP IS SORE A LITTLE BIT NOW COULD THAT BE FROM THE FALL OR FROM SITTING ON A RECLINER ALL DAY

Brief Answer:
Follow up

Detailed Answer:
I think this is most likely related to your fall. Sometimes when we fall it disturbs the mechanics of multiple joints. I would expect us to slowly improve over time.

Sincerely,
