Depends: If the pain has been present for more than 2 weeks, it may need to be evaluated further. Locking, catching, or giving out are signs of.A more serious problem.

Probably: Rest is always a good initial treatment. If it persists, see your family doctor.

Slipped on ice and landed really hard on the inner side of my knee, 3 weeks ago. Bruising and swelling has gone down, but it burns every time it's touched. I can't kneel on it, this causes extreme burning/stinging sensations. Will this go away?

I have a small bump on the inner side of my knee cap. It hurts when i walk and kneel down. No idea what it is from. What is it thought it was a spider bite a few months back. Then it looked like a bruise and now is a bump a little smaller than a dime.
