Suggest Treatment For Big Scrape Below Kneecap After An Injury
I tripped and fell on the pavement on saturday landing on my knee. It has a pretty big scrape below my kneecap and the whole area is very sensitive and painful to the touch. I can feel it swell up, but it all seems to be inside my knee. I have been icing it, should I be concerned that it is still so painful?

Hi,
Any injury like this around knee has to be evaluated with X-rays and clinical examination.
I suggest painkillers and check up by orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
