Tingling And Pain In Knee, Feeling Like Small Dent Present. Had A Fall From Stairs. Any Ideas?

About two weeks ago I tripped going up some stairs and hit my knee rather hard, the bruising has gone away but a small section of my knee feels weird when touched, sort of tingly and mildly painful. It also feels as though there is a small dent of sorts that isn't present in the same location on the knee that wasn't hit. Any idea what it could be?

Hello, nothing to worry till you can bear weight. It might be just a hollowness below the swelling. For pain continue the analgesic and go for some physiotherapy and exercises. Thank you.
