    First step is always an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) and no pressure on the knee. If it's still a problem a week later, you go see an orthopedist specializing in knees. That's the drill. If it's a sprain or a bruise, it will probably be gone or way better in 7 days. If it's something else, only the doc can diagnose it. Speculation is futile.
