<s>[INST] Hi, i fell off my mountain bike just over 2 weeks ago, lot of the impact was to my left knee. The cut wasnt healing too well so i was precribed antibiotic cream, and its healing well and almost gone, but although it doesnt hurt to touch i still cannot kneel up and there seems to be a hardened section to the front of my knee, which is also numb. Is this normal? [/INST] Hello, Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like arthritis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician </s>
