Brief Answer:
Internal knee injury likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You must have hurt your internal structures in knee due to the fall, which are anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, medial/lateral collateral ligament, medial and lateral menisci, joint capsule, synovium, crossing muscles, bone cartilage and bone itself. It needs proper clinical examination and relevant investigations to diagnose which among these is hurt. It is best visualized on MRI (Magnetic Resonant Imaging).
If icing and ibuprofen gives you relief you may resume yoga and workouts after a gap of 2 or 3 weeks. A pair of knee supports can add to stability. But that again depends on your exact condition. If you don't get relief, proceed with MRI.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
