Suggest Treatment For Pain Inside The Knee

I am experiencing knee pain, no injury involved. It is on the inside of my knee, tender to touch. Almost feels like a bad bruise, but there is none. After hobeling around all day, I have put an ACE elastic knee brace on it for some support, and have taken Advil. Both seem to help a bit. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
