10 days ago I crashed my bike and smacked my inside knee area on the front inside area where it meets up with the inside quadraceps. Not a lot of pain immediately. I was able to ride home, walk around the store, then that night is swoll up to like the size of a freakshow half grapefruit was inside my left knee/quadricpts meeting area.
Next day that swelling was down to just about nothing but I still had pain. I have full range of motion.
Now after ten days I have some swelling there but more dispersed (not like a half grapefruit in there) and the black and blue is dispering about 6-9 inchs all around the area, even to the back of the knee.
I have a ton of pain on impact to the area, (like by tapping it firmly or kneeling in bed putting weight on it) but not a from biking. I did a 40 mile road ride and it felt ok.
I can not run on it though at all. It hurts to push off or land.
I think its just a lot of swelling from a hard impact like yours that needs rest time to heal and get rid of fluid. Would you say this is consistant with your injury experience.
I'd go to the orth, but I don't have insurance and I don't think its more serious then just a serious knee bruise???? Maybe it is though. What do you think.
