Female 39 yr 137lbs trip and fell on my left knee while jogging. It appeared it was fine except for missing skin. Walked/jogged home... Today Saturday I noticed there is a little bit of swelling and I can move my knee cap around. Should I call my doctor?

Hi,

It could be a sprain or contusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
