No feeling in knee

I fell down hard onto my knees about a week ago and although the swelling has finally gone down, the bruise (which is huge and bright blue, a color I've never seen!)is spreading down my shin. Additionally, I have no sensation on the left side of my kneecap, even when I stuck it with a pin. Is this normal after a knee injury or should I be concerned? Thanks.
