Orthopaedics consult: You should visit an orthopaedic surgeon in clinic. Try to stay off your knee, rest, put ice on your knee, compression ace bandage and elevate the knee. You need to have the knee examined. If you can put weight on the knee and pivot, may not be too serious, but if you can't bear weight or have severe swelling it may indicate fracture or ligament injury if there is blood in joint. Good luck.
