A member asked:

I am experiencing knee pain, difficulty walking and knee swelling. i fell over onto my right knee 3 days ago ?

Needs evaluation: You could have a small fracture if you are having difficulty walking on it. You need an X-ray and possibly MRI. You could also have an internal damage like a meniscus tear. Recommend evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.
