Knee troubles: Based on your description, sounds like he may have injured the knee. Management typically involves rest, elevation, anti inflammatory, icing. Persistent or worsening symptoms would warrant an evaluation with your doctor. Hope this helps.

Knee pain: These things can happen. He needs an MRI of the knee and a good manual exam. Best guess is a ligament strain/tear.
