Knee pain: could be several different things, difficult to say without an exam. Could be a meniscus injury, could be the IT band or a lateral collateral ligament injury. I would start with rest, ice application, take a good anti inflamitory and try a compressive wrap. Like a cheap knee brace. If none of these help I would be seen

Be seen: There are multiple possibilities. I would not hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
