Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Tender Knees

A day ago i was running and tripped and fell straight on both knees pretty hard. But one of the knee had a bloody scrape on it now. Including that same knee is very swollen, very tender, a tad bit bruised, can barely walk on it, hurts to straighten and bend. Could i have fractured or broken my knee? Should i go to a hospital? I have been in so much pain since yesterday.

Hi. Sorry about your problem. Seeing upon your description, it seems that due to trauma there is damage to the knee joint and blood is collected in the knee joint. At this point my advice is to visit the emergency room for complete evaluation and according management. Wishing you best of health.
Regards.
