Knee injury

A few weeks ago I wrecked my bike and could not get unclipped from my pedals. I banged my knee on the top tube and it has felt bruised ever since. The inner part of my knee (tibia I would say) is sensitive and feels like a deep bruise but I see no evidence. It was yellow green a few days afterward but looks normal now. It hurts when I do activities that involve running. Is it possible for a bruise to take over 2 weeks to heel?
 
I think I read that if a bruise isn't healed within 5 days or is not feeling better with regular first aid (ice, elevation, etc) to go see a doc. Good luck!
 
you mean inner part of the knee joint? does it hurt when you put pressure between the two bones, if it does youve probably done ya menisus or mcl.

so it only hurts now when y ou run?

It kind of achs when I run but there is no pain when I stand. I was able to ride my bike today with out problems. If I press on it with my fingers or bang my knees together it hurts as if I were hiting a bruise. I guess the pain has gotten better because I had to take some Ibuprophen (sp?) a few days that first week so I could get through a couple days of teaching PE.

*Edit* pressing on it does nothing but if I smack it with my finger tips it hurts. I pressed on it and tried to find the spot and nothing but if I smack it it hurts.

probably just a sprain or bruising which should progressively get better, if it doesnt end up doing so then seek help but i doubt it.
