Nikki asked:
I slipped on the shower mat while trying to step out of the shower and I landed pretty hard on my side…and hit my knee on the way down. Smooth…I know. Nothing popped, my knee wasn’t swollen, and there was no bruising…yet two weeks later my whole knee still really hurts. I dont think its enough to go to the hospital but somethings up…any ideas? I know you aren’t all psychics but I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.

Hard to say without an x-ray, could be you did fracture it, or caused fluid build-up. If it where me I would buy a good brace to provide some support and take ibuprofen on a regular basis. I would also ice the knee a couple times a day. If you are still having pain in another week or so get it checked out.
What part of your knee hurts the most? Front, sides or back. Does the pain radiate down your leg. What makes the pain better or worse? Does your knee lock or give out?
See your physician with the above information ready since it has been two weeks after a traumatic injury.
Generally for such injuries. RICE Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation for acute injuries with an Aleve at breakfast and dinner with stomach and pregnancy precautions.
No one online can tell you what kind of damage you’ve done to your knee. You need, at minimum, an x-ray. I would go to your primary care physician since it’s been so long. If he can’t do x-rays, he can send you to an ortho. who can, and tell you what exactly is up. Good luck!
