Damaged my knee thoughts on the injury?

Was out running with about 15 kilos on my back and after taking a knee injury stood up, heaRd a pop in my right knee and the it buckled and gave way. I tried to stand up immediately and it popped again so I fell over. Third time I stood up, fair amount of pain but I could walk. Ithe swelled up massively and is still stiff 3 days later? What have I done?

    You need to see a doctor. It could be several things and if it's still swollen, it needs treatment. In the meantime, you need to ice it 15 minutes four times a day, put an elastic wrap or support on it, elevate it over heart level (lying down), and stay off of it.
