Yup. Doctornee is on the money, as usual.
Don't let this go. My vote is to head for the ER.
They generally insert a needle into the joint to withdraw fluid and examine it for blood. The needle looks awfully big, but the procedure is not very painful. Just look at the other side of the room.
A scan will determine if there is structural damage, or a torn miniscus.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A knee swelling that is hot to touch and throbs with pain can be due to bursitis, injury, abscess or bleeding into the joint. It can also be due to fracture. Please consult an orthopedic specialist immediately or rush to ER. An X-ray of the joint should be taken immediately, and maybe a CT scan of the joint will be required.
Hope this helps. Take care!
