Pulled Inner Thigh Muscle. Why Trouble Moving And Holding Knee Up High?

I am a 21 year old male and play on a slow pitch softball and I thought I pulled my inner thigh muscle in the middle between my knee and my groin because it hurts with sertan movements and there is a bruise there. Since Monday when i get in an out of cars if i lift my knee up high enough or if i sit down and stand up it feels like i have been stabbed in my leg with a knife, and i would describe the pain as a 9 at its worse.
