Knee pain: Many sources and your symptoms sound like cartilage damage, possible ligament damage. Use some ice, then heat alternating, if you can afford a brace, if not try a wrap. Ibuprofen may help with pain. Try to walk without putting weight on your bad leg, then twisting. This will reduce pain. If not improving, and it may not, you need to be seen by pcp or an orthopedic physician.
