Hope you'll get better soon; on the bright side; knee caps get replaced on NHS (or equivalent); K3IIs do not!

Painful painful painful

Really hope it's not too serious, and you'll mend quickly

I dropped my K3 with the 16-50 on recently straight onto a cathedral floor, it bounced and I couldn't find a mark on it!

The knee however does sound somewhat painful....hope you recover soon.

I bet you checked the camera before you checked yourself. I did that in Hong Kong 10 years ago, couldn't walk properly for months, M645, Z-1 and *ist D were fine but left knee mangled.

Sympathy
Having torn a cartilage over 3 yrs ago (which took 8 months & an MRI scan to diagnose!) I think you might need some very strong painkillers like tramadol - but, careful, they can be addictive (luckily, for me they were not)
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)
