Approximately 2 months ago i fell going up the stairs and hit my knee on the edge of the stair. since then i experience pain when pressing down on one area and numbness that doesn't want to go away. will this resolve or do i need to see a specialist.

Knee pain: If you are still symptomatic after 2 months, there is a concern that you have indeed injured your knee cap or surrounding structures. I recommend seeing an orthopedic specialist. You may be able to consult one via HealthTap. Be well!
