jos2thehua Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hello everyone, About 15 minutes ago I was riding my bike and slipped up on the pedals and the left pedal hit me right in my shin or actually it was in the knee and on the shin. Now there is a bump about a inch under my kneecap. I was wondering if there might be a break. I mean I can walk on it fine and all but the bump kind of worries me. Could it just be swollen because the pedals sharp point grip hit it and there is a little cut on the bump. Or is there actually a break? Oh and right now I'm putting ice on it to see if that does the trick...Thanks for any help 90% of teenagers have tried smoking pot OR drinking.

ninjanurse Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ouch!Chances are its just a bruise since you are walking on it with no pain. Try rest, ice, compression, and elevation for a few days and see a doctor if you don't improve.

Aodhan Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Ouch!Chances are its just a bruise since you are walking on it with no pain. Try rest, ice, compression, and elevation for a few days and see a doctor if you don't improve. The tibia is the main weight bearing bone of the lower leg, so if it was broken you wouldn't be able to walk. Since you say it was the knee as well, what you may have done is burst the bursa sac around the knee, and the lump is the leaky fluid. If that is the case, it should go down on it's own in a few days to a week.If it persists, turns funky red streaky colors, or interferes with walking, get thee to a doctor!Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
