Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you have injured internal structures of your knee due to the fall. This could include meniscal tear or a ligament damage. Do consult your orthopedician for investigations like MRI scan.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal ,
