Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
It could be that you have sprained you medial collateral ligament. If so this should improve over the next 4-6 weeks without any specific treatment. Anti-inflammatory medication can help with the pain. If you symptoms are ongoing then an Xray of your knee may be beneficial.
