Pain In The Knee After Getting Hurt. Need To Be Treated?

Recently injured myself while playing soccer and the back of my knee hurts. Well not as much as the first time it happened about a week ago. On that day, when I press my upper part of the calf that part of my knee was hurting it was like they were linked. And also my in step (inner side) of my left calf has a dull ache heavily sensed when i press the region. What could be the explanations on the injuries on the right and left leg respectively.

Hi,
It seems that you might got some injury of soft tissue, ligaments and meniscus of knee joint.
Give complete rest to joints.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day.
Apply Knee cap during day time to support knee muscles, remove cap during night time.
Do Patellar exercise afterwards.
Ok and take care.
