A member asked:

Fell and landed on knee. a week later can stand and bear weight but top of tibia painful when anything touches it and general ache in the knee. idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would see your PCP: To be xrayed to ensure you haven't broken any bone. If your tender on the bone 1week later, then its most likely a fracture. Other causes would be a torn cartilage. Mri might be able to confirm the dx. Good luck.
