A member asked:
Took a bad fall on a skateboard the other and landed on my left knee and just below the kneecap is numb to touch but there's no visable bruising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: The trauma to the nerve endings in the area & some subtle swelling can make this numb for a while. It should return to normal sensation over hours/days.
