Had a nasty fall on monday night. starting tonight (friday) i had intermittent intense knee pain. what could cause this?

There are many possibilities and examining your knee would be needed to diagnose the problem. You may also need imaging studies like x-rays or MRI. The problem could be a small bone fracture, tendon or ligament issue, soft tissue swelling, etc. So, if this continues, you need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment. You may need to see an orthopedic surgeon as well. Good luck!
