Suggest Treatment For Knee Cap Injury
I fell on the corner on a cement block hitting my knee cap. It has a visible lump, bruising where is was hit and then around the edge of the knee cap. It is warm and painful to the touch. There is also pain the radiates down the outside of my leg into my ankle area. There is stiffness in the knee after resting though the pain gets better with resting. It hurts the most when going down stairs and on the way down to sitting.

Hello,
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Most probably it is a contusion and fracture is unlikely.
If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
