Back in March some idiot tripped me while running in gym class. I was in a group of 6 friends and was running as fast as I could. I fell 3 feet forward and slammed down really hard. I couldnt feel my knee instantly. Me being an overdramatic drama queen (on the surface..) with a VERYlow paint tolerance, nobody really gave a crap and just thought I was making a scene. So my friend Brandon and boyfriend Luke helped me up. but when I couldnt stand and started blacking out they got my gym teacher. Course, she called me a baby, hit me and sent me to the nurse for ice. I had a black and blue bruise covering more than my whole knee. I had to sit out gym for 3 days and couldnt kneel on that knee for 3 weeks. The pain is gone if you touch it. But I still cannot kneel and there is still 4 bruises on and around my kneecap. Is it gonna be messed up forever? Its been 3months and still hurts and still has bruises. Will it heal =/ My moms leg has gotten run over by a bike and it wasnt even this bad o.o
Its really hard to rest your knee because you are constantly using it.
I really think you should go to the doc and say that you were not going to bother him but because it is taking so long to heal, you were advised by a 'friend' that you really should just get it checked out.
Go for it girl!
Even if it just puts your mind at rest its worth the small amount of hassle.

You may like to check it out with a doctor. (you never mentioned if you saw a doc)
I had this once and had chipped off a small part of my knee cap and it was this that was causing the pain.
It was a simple 20 minute procedure to remove the bone fragment.
Not saying that you have the same as me, but an x-ray would show up and bone damage.

kiasu is right, it'll be best to go to the doctor to find out what is going on, but that being said, a few years ago I sprained my ankle really badly and I can still feel it sometimes. the doctor told me that a sprain can take up to a year or two before it heals completely.
Noo.. I just told my mom I tripped..Not that it hurt like hale..I went to the doc often bc I was exposed to a TON more new germs than I was last year. and like I said "Over dramatic drama queen" Everyone thought I was skipping every single time I was out
Kk thanks!!
