Kneecap irritation

2017-09-21 18:39:00
I fell on my knee 8 weeks ago, got an X-ray and was told I had soft tissue damage, given crutches and antibiotics as it was infected. Now the joint is ok and I’m back doing exercises however my kneecap feels pointy and the skin over the top is really sensitive and is also painful on the side of the kneecap when touched. What is it?
