fell hard on knee

by annette

I fell hard on tile covered cement... came down on my left knee... 3 days later can walk, bend knee w/out problem, but touching the bruised spot causes sharp pain and a tingling "zap" that moves across my knee (a nerve?)... my mobility is not at all limited but I absolutely can not kneel on the knee... do you think it is just bruised? Thank you..

It sounds like it could just be bruised, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get it looked at just to be safe.

Did you ever see a doctor?
by: Dave

Annette, I fell on my knees 2 weeks ago. I have the same symptoms as you... completely functional with no pain, but I cant kneel on it without pain. My knee is getting more swollen so I've started to ice it a lot and elevate when possible.

Did you ever see a doctor? If so what was the diagnosis. I really cant afford to go the doctor as our health insurance stinks and I have to pay the first 5000.00 out of pocket.

Thanks Dave

Knee Zap
by: Tim

If anybody has come up with the answer I have the exact same feeling inmmy knee. I can't remember anything happening to it but there is a tendon or nerve that I can actually move with my finger on the top of my knee that zaps it across the knee and down the opther side. I have no idea what it is.
