Bursa?: If u struck your kneecap w/ your raquet or fell on your knee(" hit my knee") then traumatic prepatellar or infrapatellar bursitis may be the dx.Ice, NSAIDs ( ibuprofen) and rest may be all that u need. Your knee bursa may swell (and occcassionally discolor)later but the problem is self - limiting.Best of Luck!
