Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems that blood must have clotted around your knee cap, and your symptoms are due to that. Try putting some ice around it three times in a day for few days. If it does not improve, you may need to get x-ray done and show to your local doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
