What Causes Difficulty In Walking When Suffering From Pain In Lower Knee?

Hi, I slipped on the ice about a week ago and hit my knee on the steps. It hurt real bad at first but then I was able to walk. For the first few days it was sore and hard to stand on but was slowly getting better. Then after about 5 days it became hard to walk because of pain between the lower knee and right above the ankle. It is hard to walk after sitting and hard to sit after walking. It hurts to touch my shin and is a little red in appearance. the knee was bruised but is now healing up. I missed work today because I didn t want to stand on it all day.
