Could be injured....: The question is how sore and how long ago did you fall? If your knee swelled after the fall it is likely that you have a significant injury. If it has been more than 6 wks since the fall and you still have symptoms it is time to see an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation. You do not want to ignore a serious injury and make you condition worse. Good luck.

Ice, ice, ice: If there is any pain though, after a couple of days, you should see an orthopedist for evaluation.
