I have a dent in the middle of my kneecap. Could this be from an old injury? I fell on it years ago and Dr had X-rays and MRI ordered and diagnosed it as Osteochondrits Dessecans. Have severe pain in my knee but now my kneecap also started to be painful and gets pretty swollen if I m on it for more then 30 min or so. I am awaiting knee surgery.
Hi as per your description of problems it appears that you have dent in your knee cap secondary to swelling in the knee joint where the knee cap area appears depressed. If it was due to injury, it would have shown in x-rays and MRI. Also, you are developing Arthritis of the knee joint which is giving you pain. I suggest that you take painkillers a use a knee support till surgery is done.
