From description it seems to be ligament sprain of knee. As few weeks are already passed out and pain is persist ant ,I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician for thorough examination and treatment according o that.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Hello Pam,
Have you had an opportunity to have an xray or physical therapy? Even massage therapy may bring you some relief from your symptoms. It may be helpful to keep a pain diary to see if your pain levels increase or diminish.
