Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain
I fell off my bike a week ago and landed straight on my knee. I have been noticing severe sharp pain around my knee so I decided to feel if there was anything wrong. I was pushing on my knee where it hurt and I found that there is a dent in my knee. It was never there before so I was wondering if I could possibly have a fracture in my knee cap

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Small dents after a fall are usually caused by the fat underlying the skin being damaged and dying away. This is not a serious problem and the dent over time may become less obvious.
Best wishes
