Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you may have injured your knee and elbow. If you want a proper investigations then you should get MRI of the elbow and knee joint. This will give us idea if there is any ligament injury in the joint.
Most of the time ligament injury heals with rest and bracing but if it severe grade 3 ligament injury then you might need surgery also. So I would suggest you to meet doctor as soon as possible and do need ful.
i hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
