I was in a car accident and my knee smashed against the dash. I also broke my wrist. The wrist was the "imediate pain" so the knee wasnt noticed until after the fact. For the first two weeks after the accident my knee was black and blue, swollen and very tender. I was having no pain while walking so I didnt believe that it was broken-just badly bruised. 10 months after the accident I still have swelling. When I press the area I can actually feel the "swishing" from the obvious water retention. If I purposely try to make my knee crack-it will repeatedly. In other words if I am sitting on a chair and extend my leg repeatedly the knee will continue to crack. I have no pain while walking, however, my joint seems to feel "tired" after walking (exercise pace) for about 15 minutes. I can kneel on my knee with a little discomfort. What is goin on?
