For a bit I had a sharp pain in my foot that felt like a champ, stayed for a couple days then it went away then 12hr late my knee is swollen and feels like something beneath my knee cap is moving or rubbing, this came out of know where. The muscle around the knee is tender and throbs constantly.

Hi,

I am sorry for the bad hit you had in your foot.

Apply cold compresses/ice locally at the site of the hit for the first 72 hours. The swelling is due to accumulation of fluids/blood after the hit. It will go away after applying ice/cold compresses.

Take oral analgesic to help subside the pain.
After the first couple of days, should apply alternating cold and warm compresses to dissolve the accumulated blood.

If symptoms won't improve, should consult further with your physician and run X-ray of the foot to rule out broken bones or sprain.

Wish fast recovery.
