“What could cause a numbing sensation in my knee?”
I was playing football and noticed afterward that my knee was swollen and I had no feeling around the knee cap area. What could cause a numbing sensation in my knee?
1 Answer
If you had swelling around the knee the pressure from the fluid can press on the skin nerves and cause the numbness. Also if you hit your kneecap on something like the ground this can cause swelling from a contusion and can also cause the numbing feeling. It should go away over time. Ice and elevate for the swelling. You could even take a short course of NSAID’s such as Ibuprofen or Alleve.
