Answers:

You could have done a variety of things. the knee is relatively unprotected by surrounding muscles and is often injured by blows, sudden stops or turns especially those associated with sports.Torn ligaments are the most common and produce a variety of symptoms such as pain, swelling caused by fluid build up, tenderness when touched, bruising etc. Torn meniscus are very common and very painful. Take it from one who knows. The can cause severe pain, causing a limp, or swelling and difficulty with moving it. Don't wait, get it checked out. When I tore my meniscus, I waited to long to have it treated and it only made matters worse in the end. The meniscus, in case you don't know, is a curved, fibrous cartilage in the knee. If it's torn, many times a doctor will perform minor surgery to fix it. From what you describe, this sounds like you damaged that in some way. Hope I'm wrong. An MRI will definitely show any damage. Go see your doctor and in the meantime, rest it. Use cold packs on it to keep any swelling down until you see your MD.
