Your knee merits a re-examination by an orthopedic surgeon, including a careful physical exam and possibly an MRI to clarify the pathoanatomy.

Draining the knee always helps for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. Your fall is not likely to be related to the procedure, but rather to the pathology behind it. Next step would be to follow up tightly with your doc who performed the arthrocentesis in order to have it diagnosed and treated properly.
