tripped over bedspread and hit concrete floor. Landed on side of left leg. Terrible pain. Did not go to doctor for two months. Thought pain would go away. Had X-ray done yesterday. Results say non displaced fractured fibula that is lined up. Pain should be in lower ankle but is on side of left knee cap???? Why????
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The fibula and the tibia join together at the knee and ankle joints. So, the swelling in case of fibula fracture may also happen in the knee. Ice is used to relieve the pain and reduce swelling. You can use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.  suggest consulting an orthopedist for further evaluation. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
