    if you have insurance go see a doc. If not, it sounds like you just hurt a ligament or muscle. In that case, get a knee brace and take a couple of days off. (I have bad knees that are genetic) Knee braces are an excellent way to keep active. I love the Futuro brand. They keep it warm and flexible. However, if at all possible, see doc to make sure nothing serious is going on.

    I agree with seeing a doctor.

    Until then ... RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

    Sleep with a pillow between your legs.

    Try a rolling pin - that might help.

    Get to a Doctor. Sounds as if it could be a torn maniscus (sp). If the cold, hot doesn't help try the brace. Take it from someone that has both knees replaced. You don't want to mess around with it at your young age. This from an oldie trying to get back in shape to hike again.
