Knee X-ray: If it is still painful after 2 weeks I would see a doctor for an x-ray- especially if you have pain while walking.

Not unusual: Can take awhile to heal. Elevate it and ice it for about 15 minutes at the end of the day and after activity. Can also apply topical gents such as menthol rubs or Biofreeze.
