Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I suggest you to get an Xray of the knee joint as soon as possible. There may also be need for an MRI depending on the xray finding which may show tear in the menicus or any other ligaments in the joint.

Meanwhile do restrict any kind of movement in the joint and immobilize it with a splint.

Take painkillers like Aceclofenac if the pain is unbearable.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please let me know if there are any other concerns.

Regards,
