If you have insurance, you need to see your family physician and have them refer you to a physical therapist.
The same thing happened to my mom. She fell and injured herself back in January during a bad ice storm then about a month later her knees and legs started to hurt, first they said that she had a water cyst on the back of her knee that had busted and that was why her legs and knees were swelling up, then after they found out that she had taken a fall a month earlier they said that she had traumatized her legs and knees. So now she is in physical therapy, it seems to be helping some, she also wears a brace on the leg that bothers her the most and she said that really helps.
A physical Therapist will teach you exercises and stretches that will help you. I hope you feel better soon.
