I fell one flight down over a box and a step onto the concrete. I had alot of swelling them and went on vacation the next day where i hiked. That was 8 months ago. I still cant let anything touch it even jeans put pressure on my knee and make it uncomfortable. I feel like i should have a huge bruise on knee but there is nothing there, It feels swollen at times tight at times. Sharp like splinters burns itchy feeling at times. I had a xray yesterday and it showed nothing not even arthritis from what my radiologist report said per my doctor.
I know this is not normal knee pain when i look down at both knees i can tell this knee is more swollen then right knee, On the right knee i can see indents and things like a normal knee should look on the left it looks round with definition in some areas. i can bend it i can go down to pick stuff up and come up fine. It just always feels uncomfortable. below is a list of the feelings
Swollen
Feels like bruised.
Feels like glass breaking in my knee when i touch it to the floor ( when on hands and knees)
occasionally feels like a splinter is in there on the right side of knee almost where knees touch when standing
burning
itching (when burning)
tight
like a rubber band is wrapped around knee cap
like a rubber band is being streched over my knee cap.
Any thoughts?
Doc said xray looks great nothing abnormal on it.
I was in a car accident many years ago also where both knees where slammed into the glovebox so hard they had to use a crowbar to open glovebox to get papers out.
