Suggest Medications For Painful Bruise In Knee Cap
I fell playing roller skating last week. I don t have a bruise, but I have a small goose egg just below my right knee cap. It doesn t hurt to move it, walk, bend, etc. The only time I experience any pain is when I kneel on it, or put direct pressure on the spot. The pain is sharp when I do this.

Hi,
This is called a house maid's knee. It requires treatment so that it does not get worse or infected. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for the treatment and surgery may also be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
