What Causes Bruise On Entire Knee Cap Area?
While at work I was on my knees cleaning shelves when I heard a crunch and pop sound. Afterwards i could no longer put weight on my left knee. It wasnt until after I arrived home a few hours later that I saw the bruising on my knee and the bruise seems to have expanded to cover my entire knee cap area. Is it just bruising or something more serious?
