Answers:
did your knee actually twist? if not, then it probably isn't sprained. depending on how hard you fell, you could have bruised the bone. i bruised my shin bone a couple years ago and the pain was awful - to the point that i ended up at the ER. if it is still hurting so badly and you still have the loss of mobility, then you might want to get it checked out with your doctor.

keep icing it and take some ibuprofen for the swelling and pain.

Its probably just swollen. I would keep icing it and not do anything too physical for now.Give a day or two than check with the ER.
