HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, knee is very fragile joint in case of injury it has to be investigated for fracture part, meniscus tear, bleeding, so it is better to see the orthopedic surgeon till then better to keep the leg in elevated position, and analgesic can be tried, MRI is the test gives detail about the injury hope this information helps.
