Need more info : Look at the "Ottowa knee rules" at http://www.emottawa.ca/assets/documents/research/cdr_knee_card.pdf to see if an x-ray is needed. There could always be injury to inside of knee, but you really need an exam for that. It's frankly easier to do that exam a week or so after injury; it hurts the patient too much to have their knee twisted and pulled right after injury.

I fell and my knee buckled it got really swollen but I iced it and the swelling went down, it hurts quite a lot and there's no bruising ans only hard to move when it's swollen. If I walk long distances with no brace it swells up what injury is this?
