Hi,

It may be due to minor contusions or ligament injury associated with twisted knee.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. Apply ice packs also.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
