Really need exam: Im not sure about your original injury, but you need a good exam and possibly an mri if your knee has a lot of swelling you need to find out why' you may have a ligament tear or even a fracture in the joint you should be doing flips until youre sure what's wrong and youre better.

Have it evaluated.: R.I.C.E. Rest, ice, compression, elevation may help for an acute injury. Oral anti-inflammatory medication may help with the pain and swelling. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the proper diagnosis.
