A member asked:
After a hard impact, my kneecap has become extremely sensitive to some touch. there is something between the skin and bone that i can slide around. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: If it was a hard impact, you would be wise to be seen just to make sure you don't have a fracture; that being said, you probably sustained a contusion to your patella and have a small hematoma.
