Hi It could most probably a ligament injury of knee.Treatment depends on the degree of injury.In some cases you might need a surgical correction.MRI will give what exactly is wrong with you.It can be associated with synovitis also.You better immobilize your knee in elastic bandage and have ice application.You can have pain medications like ketoprofen or Aceclofenac.Hope this may help you thanks
