A member asked:
Bruised my femur& knee cap a month ago, it still hurts and they said it would be okay in a week, & all the skin on it is numb so what does this mean?

Time: Bone bruises can take a few months to heal. The numbness is likely nerve compression from swelling in your leg. When the swelling resolved the numbness should too.
