Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
It looks to me that you have injured your knee and there can be a soft tissue injury . I would suggest you to take Brufen for pain relief, take rest and apply compression bandage. You can also apply diclofenac ointment also.If your pain does not subside or increases then you need to get MRI of the knee.
