Follow up: I would suggest a follow up examination if this continues. Often times with contact injuries of any significant velocity you "injure" your subcutaneous nerves so you can have temporary numbness or tingling. Rarely does it become permanent. However, I would suggest another examination if the symptoms persist.

Trauma: If you are still having pain or tingling in your knee you need to see an Ortho and have an MRI done of the knee to make sure there are no torn ligaments or cartilage that would be missed on a CT. Good luck
