What Causes Pain After Hitting On Concrete?

I slammed my knee on a fall on hard concrete four weeks ago. I can walk without pain but if anything touches the knee, even my bed sheet, it is pain that I cannot describe. This has not gone away or gotten better in four weeks. Also, it feels numb at times, it itchy other times, and sometimes feels wet even though I have no open wounds. In the past week, the knee has started to hurt even when it is not being touched.
