Suggest Remedy For Painful Hard Lump Under The Knee Cap Post Injury
I landed on my left knee whilst playing sport (impact with the turf) over 2 weeks ago. The pain started immediately afterwards. The next day I felt underneath my knee and there is a hard lump which is painful to touch. Exercise is difficult and when squatting it feels like there is a huge amount of pressure on the area. I am a 29 year old active slightly heavy build male
