I bashed my knee playing broomball about a month ago. I was limping for two days and had a bad bruise for two weeks.

It has been a month, and while it doesn't hurt at all to walk around, I can still feel pain when I press on my kneecap.

I think I'll give it another few weeks (till after finals) and if it still hurts I might go in for a checkup. I do not have a history of knee injuries (this is the first time).

It sounds like a serious one.

If it isnt better within 2 weeks, see a doctor. However if there IS some sort of improvement, theres not much to worry about unless its ultra slow.

PS: Dont take our word for it. This is computer hardware discussion forums (however there may be some docs here), so go and see a doctor anyway.

I got my knee bashed in high school football, and it still hurts sometimes. That was 18 years ago.
