Have you been to a doctor? You need an Xray to check for broken bones and a CT or MRI to make sure that you did not tear your ACL. You really need to get to a doctor to have these tests done and possibly be referred to an orthopedist.
Hello!
This can be due to ligament tear. Depending on your grade of injury your orthopedician will cure you. You would need to check your cruciate ligaments (anterior and posterior) by a proper examination by an orthopedician. Go for an MRI for diagnosing soft tissue injuries and to rule out injuries with menisci or collateral ligaments.
Continue ice packs, take pain killers and rest and do not exert the injured knee.
Take care!
get to docs-sounds like a partial tear to the acl ( or very bad sprain which is a tiny tear ) - if there is blood present ( puplelish color ) go to ER .
