I can not comment on the history alone. It would be better if you show to a orthopedics surgeon. He may need to get a Mri of your knee joint. There are chances that you may have damage your meniscus or patella cartilage. Avoid fast running or jumping till your diagnosis is sure. Apply ice and take brufen tablet for pain relief.
