Dear patient
Knee injury of mold type usually heals within a week. Your symptoms suggest internal derangement of knee in form of meniscus injury. I would advise mri of knee to rule out meniscus and ligaments injury. If it's normal to should start active physiotherapy in form of quadriceps and hamstring strengthening excersise. If it comes abnormal please consult arthroscopic surgeon nearby you and get yourself examined.
