My knee hurts when bent

The other day me and my friend were rolling down a hill and she rolled over my leg. Today, I can't run, I can't walk to much, and it hurts to go up or downjust the stairs. The pain is all in my right knee. No where else. It hurts yo fully extend my leg and hurts to bend it. What could be wrong With it?

Thatsca good sign.  I've broken 10-12 bones in my life and had a bad ankle sprain once.  Wen i sprained my ankle I had tobwear a cart an all that.  While they were evaluating me in the ER, one of the first questions was if i heard popping, and i did.  I also had a badly broken toe, and wen that happened I heard the bones crack. If therecwas no popping idk if that means its fine cause many times i heard nothing wen i broke bones, but if u had heard it that wld b very bad.  If u have swelling or bruising that's also a bad sign.  How is it doing today?  Usually the day after its worse.  If its better than ull prolly be fine. If not, u heed to use ice, elevation and an otc Med for inflammation. If its not improving by Tues of wed then u shld have it xrayed and evaluated. In the meantime the 3 things I said r very important and i wld not put any kind of stress on it.  Good luck

I've had something similar before.  It was a really sharp pain hut only in my knee, no swelling or bruising.  I went to the ER then to an ortho.  They cld tell there was inflammation but not wat was wrong without an MRI, but the ortho suspected I over stretched a ligament or something.  Itvcleared up within a week i think.  If u heard any pops or have swelling/bruising u need to b seen.  If u don't go to dr u shld ice organs tskecan NSAID for inflammation.  Good luck.
