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.
