Question: So I hit my knee in the middle of the night. Should I be worried.?
I leaped onto my bed last night and hit the left side of my left knee on a sharp corner of the bedpost in doing so. There's a small cut on the knee and there appears to be some internal swelling. If I lift my leg and almost fully extend it, I get some mild pain. Attempting to bend the leg further doesn't hurt as much, but it takes some effort. If I press the kneecap slightly above where I hit it, I get the greatest pain response. Is this all just a result of the swelling from a bruise on/inside my knee, or could it be a sign of something more serious like a ligament injury.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It sounds like a bruise, especially if you hit it straight on and didn't twist it, pull it, or fall.
