<human>: I fell directly onto both kneecaps about six weeks ago. There was initial bruising and swelling that eventually subsided. Six weeks later, it doesn t hurt to bear weight on it and range of motion is fine, but my right knee is still very tender to the touch. Suggestions on what might be going on?

Based on what you said and your prolonged pain after fall, I suspect a ligament injury of your right knee. You should reach out to orthopedic surgeon nearby and get an MRI scan to detect the cause of injury which is likely to be a ligament injury. You may take tab. Naproxen 20 mg once a day for your pain. Best rest and decreased movement of your affected knee can improve you condition and usually require 3-6 months for recovery of partial injury to ligament. Hope I ad Chat Doctor.
