Rest knee: May have just strained the muscles. Try to stay off it, can use a topical ice pack, oral Tylenol or other pain pill. If you damaged the cartilage or meniscus it will continue to hurt and perhaps swell. Can use an Ace bandage on it, or knee sleeve from the pharmacy. Doctor visit can help with diagnosis. Start with PCP, Orthopedic surgeons are the specialist in this area.
