What Causes Numbness In Knees After An Injury?
i hit my knee on the corner of something several months ago. it was a fairly hard impact, but just once. ever since then, my knee has been going numb at random and it almost feels like it s not even there. will this eventually go away, or should i seek treatment?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve due to the injury. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such Acetaminophen 500 mg three times a day. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I also recommend doing gentle stretching exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
