Suggest Treatment For Lump On Knee Cap

I fell on my knee about a month and a half ago and it was really deeply bruised. It's still just as bruised as it was when I hurt it and recently I've notice a lump on my knee cap towards the side a little more and it moves around, it also hurts a bit. What could it be?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have Housemaids Bursitis-or pre-patellar bursitis.
Treatment is by-Anti-inflammaotary gel and tablets locally/ Aspiration with compression bandage / if reccurres -tetracycline instillation to induce sterile fibrosis and permanent reduction of the bursitis lump./ if still remains , would need Surgical Excision by ER Ortho-Surgeon.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
