It sounds more like a pulled ligament or a strained muscle. What I'm going to suggest to you is something that is done for pro-atheletes. It helps to get them up and back into action w/in 3 days. You need to get a long storage type plastic container and fill it w/ice. Find some pillows for your other knee, becuase you will be putting all your weight there. Do this in front of a chair or something that you can hold onto it to stabelize yourself. Now you want to put your knee into the ice and leave it there for about 20 minutes. It will be excruciating pain at first but you have to leave it in there no matter what. Your knee will finally get to a point of numbness. Once it hits the numb stage, that's when you don't feel it anymore, you take it out. Start stretching it back out and working it. You will be surprised how much further it stretches after doing this. Massage it, walk on it, stretch it out for about 5 minutes. Then put it back into the ice again. It won't hurt so much this time and it never will again. Leave it in the ice this time for 5 minutes. repeat this proceedure 3 more times. Then over the next few days do this a couple of times a day. The swelling will go down and your active range of motion should return. If this doesn't work than you really need to get to a doctor because it is not soft tissue that is the problem. Good luck!
Namaste!

You might have just briused your knee cap if you can still run. But either way, you should go to the doctor to find out for sure to be on the safe side.
