Knee injury three weeks ago ?

Question

Oh k so i injured my knee almost 3 weeks now. I had fallen on conceret and end up with cellulities that was treated with antibiotics. The infection is now gone but i still have an open area at the top of my knee that closing slowly. My question is I started having increased pain the last 2 days in the inside of my right knee when walking with slight tingling in my foot once and a while. I also feel a sharp pain across the middle with bending which i never had before. There is also slight swelling and a little bruising that i never had before. I still have my limp which i had since i injured it so it is nothing new. Should i be concerned or is it just from overuse with weight bearing because of the limp. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

90% chance it is all due to the limp and the lack of movement at the knee due to the cellulitiis.

Your forming increased scar tissue from not being able to bend the knee.  You need to start moving the knee, bending and flexing, working toward walking normal, no limp.

This is still worth talking to your doctor about due to the complications in healing from the cellulitis and the really bad 10% of possibilities.
