Help! Dodgy knee after a fall

0 replies

I fell quite badly about a month ago backwards down some steps and somehow ended up falling back onto my knees and badly winding myself.
I went to A & E a few days later as was getting incredible pains in one knee and shin - particularly when going to bed. Hot and stinging pain with a sensitive/dull patch down the front of my leg. The X-ray didn’t show any breaks but I feel like they xrayed my lower leg and not my knee - could be wrong.
The swelling has now gone down and bruising gone too but I can feel a hard lump (bone hard) to side of my knee and when I stand up for a while or walk further than a few steps I get a hot burning pain and also at times my knee feels ‘wrong’ - like something is moving.
Getting an appointment at my doctors is very tricky and I don’t want to waste a valuable appointment but I am getting worried that things aren’t improving. Is a lump on your bone common without a break? Any advice would be so appreciated x
