Am seeing an orthopod in a week or so, but was wondering if anyone here had an opinion as what it may be. I struck my R knee (patela) on ground while rolling in jujitsu. It is currently swollen but not painful. When i squat down it feels tight.It feels s if there is an accumulation of fluid. I can palpate the patella without pain and it does not move around abnormally, but it fells like there is 1cm of extra squishy tissue over it as compared to the other one. My guess is an accumulation of fluid in the bursa between the tibia and the patellar ligament, however the swelling feels to be on top of the ligament?
