What Causes Pressure In Knees After Squatting?

Hi I have two problems with my legs I was in a car accident about a month ago one problem is in my right knee on the right side any time I squat down I feel a lot of pressure on the right side of my knee and hurt pretty bad and gets very stiff after I stand up my second problem is on my left shin which is the side I was hit by the other vehicle that hit me and a large bump has formed and has been there since the accident but it feels like there is a hole right in the middle of the bump.

Hello
Thank you for using healthcaremagic
I read your question and understood your concern
I think you may have a meniscus tear on you knee so you should do knee MRI to check it.
Regarding the bump on your shin it might an hematoma , collection of blood in that area. You should do an xray for that part to exclude a fracture
I wish you quick recovery.
