What Is The Treatment For Knee Pain Due To Hurt?
I smacked my knee on the side of a door when I tried to open it early this morning and it has been bothering me the whole day. I can bend it but it hurts too and after a while it hurts to walk. Sometimes my leg falls asleep even though I only have been sitting down for a couple of minutes. Also every time I go up the stairs and i get up off the couch my knee hurts A LOT. i have been icing it but idk if I should go to the doctor or not. I hit the top of my knee cap

dear friend
injury on the knee cap is indeed a very painful experience, it will subside, but please get an x ray done to rule out fracture of the knee cap. it being a sesamoid bone, does not unite, and will cause further trouble, please visit the ER in case the pain does not subsid. in a day or so and only dull ache remains
