What Causes Swelling And Tightness In Knee?
I fell down some stairs and landed on my knee a week ago. It s scrapped up pretty good but healing fast except for the deepest section of scrape. It is swollen at the largest section of scrapes on the lower outer right of knee. It feels tight to straighten knee out. Is this normal?

Hello,
I have studied your case and i think that you might be having some muscular injury in the knee joint. I would suggest you to apply hot water fomentation and compression bandage. I would also recommend you to take bed rest and avoid squatting, cross leg sitting.
If this pain stays or increases then you might need to show it to orthopaedic surgeon.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
