Possibly: Given your description, a broken bone (aka fracture) is certainly possible, but an x-ray will need to be done to make the diagnosis. If you haven't had any improvement and are still limping, i would recommend seeing a doctor. Good luck!

Possible: Patella can fracture. Need x-ray to be sure. Avoid er and seek orthopedist.
