Will exercising make my knee worse?

Question

i fell directly on my knee really really hard about 3-4months ago and it was swollen pretty good for like a week or so.

at first it was really bad but know it only hurts if i sit indian style...weird right. and the part that hurts is not my knee itself but the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

but if i stretch for a while i can sit indian style without pain, it still gets sore once in a while. so can i start running again or will it make it worse?

Answer 1

did you go get xrays mris?  can't really tell without them could of torn something or broken your patella. Don't do it if it hurts, try it out and see.

Answer 2

Go see an ortho and ask for a knee x ray with a sunrise view.

a sunsire view will be of your patella, it is possible to have a cracked knee cap. youll have 3 views.

heres what one looks like....Sunrise :O)
