Hi dear .
I can understand your pain regarding your knee injury .I think you might be having a meniscus tear .I will advise you to get an X-ray done.You may need to meet with an orthopedic surgeon for more testing. These tests may include an MRI, which can give a clear picture of where a tear is and how serious it is.You can take a NSAID like diclofenac for symptomatic relief .please rate my answer if you found it helpful .Best wishes .
