Knee Injury: Seek medical care including exam, xrays to find the diagnosis and treatment asap, if you can not get an appointment with orthpedic, go to er.
Meanwhile use crutches and take some over the counter pain meds.

Question 3

it's been 2 months since i banged my knee on my door frame and it still sometimes hurts when i bend it. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you bruised your kneecap, intermittent pain can last several months.  If it is continuing to improve with time, no need to worry.  If the pain persists, or you have other symptoms such as swelling, locking, clicking, giving way, worsening pain, you should get in to see an orthopedist or sports medicine doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 4

i banged my knee against a knob of a cabinet and on impact it hurt then it didn't hurt anymore. now it clicks when i move it. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

May need orthopedist: If the knee is swollen (compared to the other knee in the mirror) or tender when you press on it, you should see an orthopedist for an evaluation.  If the clicking gradually goes away and the knee looks and acts normally, then all is well.  If it persists, then you will still need that evaluation

Knee pain: There could be some internal derangement of knee structures like cartilage or ligaments even if there is no swelling. Since you're experiencing so much discomfort, I recommend that you consult an orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and treatment..

Question 9

i banged my knee couple days ago. it swelled & hurt. yesterday& today calf has blown up 2x in size to the ankle. knee does not hurt as much.

Accepted Answer

Swelling: you may have a hematoma developing in the musculature after trauma. given the size and rate of expansion see your provider, or go to the ER to be checked properly. if there is redness, and the skin is warm, you may have cellulitus and need antibiotics.

Accepted Answer

See details: Then you should have the knee evaluated if the pain is not improving 2-3 weeks after the injury.  See an orthopedist. An MRI may be needed.
