Specializes in Radiology

Need more info: Could be a partially torn muscle, very prominent, focally dilated vein, or possibly a tumor. Probably benign, but do not ignore. Please see your doctor for a full valuation and if appropriate laboratory tests, imaging or consultation with specialists.

I was kicked in the side of my left knee, but I feel tingling and the feeling that my leg and foot go to sleep. Also when I put ice pack on it (not directly on skin) it feels like a stinging sensation. Could this be a bad tear in my meniscus?
