Hello everyone, this morning on the way to uni, I was being a twat, and fell off my bike. Well, I didn't fall off, I leapt off and let the bike fall (was riding unclipped, non-fixed).
So anyway, everything seemed fine so I carried on cycling up this big hill to my lecture. I get there lock up, and whilst walking notice my knee is getting worse. It continued to get worse and worse, and now every time the leg is straight and I use the muscles it really hurts. If I bend it it's fine, but anything past 45 degrees from full bend is really painful.
The odd thing is I landed on my feet, and I'm pretty sure I didn't bang my knee on my bike, but I must have. There's a tiny bit of scab and purple bruise, but it's no more than 4x6mmin size. There's also some odd pinkish swelling around it. At 90 degrees from straight the scab/bruise is about a 1/3rd in from the outside of the knee cap, on the top edge of the knee cap. The pain seems to correlate to that point and directly above that point, but also bellow and around the inside a bit. When relaxed it seems fine.
I've put on compression tights, which seems to be helping.
Any ideas? I am going to have to go to the doctors? Or just htfu?
