Knee pain.: You might possibly have ligament damage. You should see your physician and possibly have an M all I taken to confirm if there is indeed a soft tissue injury

See PCP: This could be many different things. None of them life threatening, but none the less you should be seen by your PCP and likely referred to an orthopedic specialist.
