hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
you can take any medication containing diclofenac and serratiopeptidase for 4 to 5 days.check diclofenac hypersensitivity before talking the medication
if possible get an x ray of the leg
it will take 4 to 5 days to heal
if it is still paining you can contact your doctor
take care

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
In your case, it seems that a nerve has either been injured or compressed which is leading to sensory loss in your knee. I would want an Xray of the knee joint to be done so that we can pick up a hairline fracture and an examination to be done to rule out any other nerve injuries that you might have missed. I think you should see a physician, although this should get better on its own, if you have no other issues.
Hope this helps
Regards
