Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain Behind The Knee Post Twisting The Leg

My 78 year old wife twisted her leg getting into bed. No pain at that time. The next morning she was unable to walk or put pressure on her leg. That was 6 days ago and she is still unable to walk or put pressure on it without pain, mostly feels like pain is behind knee.
