Is Soreness In The Knee Post An Injury A Cause For Concern?

I recently slipped on a wet incline and my right leg twisted under my body resulting in knee pain that has gotten better over the past two weeks but is still sore. I am hobbled somewhat but do not need the use of any aid to walk at all - have been applying heat and ice on the knee. I am a 61 year old male ..6 5 approximately 270 pounds ....your thoughts....
