What Could Be The Reason For Having Tenderness And Tightness On My Knee And A Hard Lump On Knee Cap?

So I got in a ski crash about two weeks ago and hurt my knee. The trainer said i had probably sprained my knee and gave me crutches to use for a week. I can walk without a limp most of the time now but it's still very tender to the touch and it feels rather tight and uncomfortable at times. There is also a hard lump about the size of a pea on my knee cap and I was wondering if you could tell me what it is.

hi
welcome to our site

read your query
that is a very significant question
and i appreciate your problem

i will try my best to answer your query

i would suggest you get an x ray of the knee immediately
there is a possibility that you have a bone involvement
if that doesnt show anything
get yourself an mri of the knee
to rule out a twisting injury to the knee

if i would see a patient with your problem
i would probably initiate an antiinflammatory medicine
like chymoral forte
till the reports show the diagnosis

i hope this helps you
inform the reports mentioned above (if any)
so i can be of help further
best of luck

(please do understand that some problem remains as
online texting cuts down history and examination
thereby reducing the effect and efficiency
and increases reliance on tests)

(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
