    Have you considered seeking medical attention? We can't tell you across the internet what is wrong with your knee.

    Yeah, maybe you can. Do you really want to take a chance like that with your knee? See a doctor before something bad happens.

    If it's oozing and swollen that much, get yourself to an ER!! You could be in a wheelchair or using a cane for the rest of your life, depending on what is going on inside your leg.

    If you fell two stories on this knee, your leg may be three times its normal size by morning.

    YES, go to the ER!!
