I had a bad fall in February, I broke my wrist, which is now better, but I have problem's with knees. I can feel mishaped bone pushing up to the skin, it is quite knobbly. If I bend on both knees they really hurt. On my left knee, I still have a fair bit of sweeling and a bruise under what feels like a very hard lump, which I would have thought would have gone by now. My right knee is the same, but if I lean on part of my leg just above the knee cap it sends a line of pain down to the bone that I am on about. I am wondering if fractures can happen after a fall, as I had every conceivable xray available at the time, as I also smashed my teeth. I think I must have passed out as I don't remember hitting the floor.

    ice your knee to manage the swelling and anti inflam meds. rest stay off the knee until the swelling and pain resolves.

    i fell last dec and broke one ankle and tore the ligaments in the other. sprained my wrist and shoulder. as the saying goes when it rain it pours. it will take time to heal and hopfully everything will bet better in time. if not see your doctor when appropriate in your area.
