Hi,
This could be tendon rupture secondary to the trauma. You should get X-ray of the knee done and get consultation from orthopedic surgeon. Over the counter analgesics like ibuprofen and acetaminophen may help and avoid over use of the knee especially bending.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
