What could be wrong with my knee?!


Question: What could be wrong with my knee?
So, I fell on my knee last March (2010) and it was swollen, bruised and after the swelling went away, there was a little chunk of something hard wiggling around above my knee cap and there was an indentation. I didn't think much of it so I left it alone. But then, in September, I fell once again. Same things happened and I finally got it looked at. Nothing was broken in the X-RAY, so they had me take an MRI...but I never got my results back. Tonight, I fell again and now it is swollen, indented, points everywhere and (that same chunk is still there, by the way) and it is bruising already. What do you guys think the chunk is and what do you think I should do? Please help!

I AM AN X-RAY TECH AND JUST THE FACT THAT THEY DID AN MRI OF YOUR KNEE, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE TORN TENDON OR MUSCLE THAT SUPPORTS THE KNEE. YOU DON'T STATE YOUR AGE BUT FALLING SO MANY TIMES IN SO SHORT OF TIME THIS COULD BE A SECONDARY PROBLEM TO A MUCH MORE SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEM. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR DOCTOR THAT ORDERED THE MRI....THEY HAVE TO BE LAW, GIVE YOU THE RESULTS, AND IF YOU DIDN'T SEE AN ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALIST, PICK UP YOUR FILMS AND YOUR MRI'S FROM ALL YOUR FALLS AND GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH ONE. IF YOU ARE UNDER 16 OR SO, YOU MAY HAVE CHIPPED YOUR KNEE CAP AND THAT'S THE PIECE YOU ARE FEELING...THIS WILL BECOME CALCIFIED WITH AGE AND WILL CAUSE CONSIDERABLE PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO KNEE, OR EVEN WALK. PLEASE SEE SOMEONE ASAP...AND BE CAREFUL. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
