Hello,
The symptoms are probably related to a torn meniscus. I suggest doing an X-ray of the knee to exclude a fracture.
To confirm the diagnosis is necessary an MRI.
Meanwhile, I suggest using painkillers for the pain such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
