Should I Be Worried For Patella Feels Cracked With Bruising And Swelling On Right Knee After Fell Down?

I fell about 2 days ago and landed on my right knee pretty hard. I am not having any trouble walking but my patella feels cracked and I am now experiencing bruising and swelling on the right knee. Also, it is painful to the touch. is there anything I should be worried about?

Iwould recommend you to get the x ray of the knee to see if there is any problem with the bone. If every thing is normal then you can take ice application and brufen tablet for pain relief. Also you can apply compression bandage to decrease swelling.
