Fell On Knee, Hard Bumps Left After Bruise And Swelling. X-rays Negative For Fracture Or Calcium Deposit
About 3 months ago I had a couple of mountain biking accidents and fell on the same knee several times. After all the bruising and swelling went down I was left with a hard bump on my tibial tuberosity. I do not have pain in my knee at all unless i kneel down on that spot, I have a sharp pain that is unbearable. My X-rays came back negative for a fracture or calcium deposit. What else could it be?

It looks to me a Prepatellar bursitis. This is collection of fluid in bursa. I would recommend you following things.
1. Apply hot water fomentation
2. Take Brufen tablet daily
3. Compression bandage over knee
4. avoid sitting with kneel down position
Your swelling will go in two weeks .
