Has anyone got any idea what this is? I fell on both knees when I missed a step, my right taking most of the force. I did have an X-ray a week later which showed no fracture to the knee cap. The bruising went right down the shin onto the ankle. I I struggled initially with swelling but gradually it has improved. The Gp said after 2 mths that I had a bursitis and prescribed naproxen. That helped and 3 mths after the fall it felt better although I felt an occasional burning sensation and tingling however that stopped until today. My knee is really hot and my shin seems bruised again and the burning sensation is pretty intense.
Is it usual to feel this pain so long after initial trauma, would it be worth asking for another X-ray?
