What have I done to my knee?

I dropped something on the floor earlier and very quickly dropped down, like a fully down squat.

I heard a slight click and since then I have been in a lot of pain!!

I can't fully weight bare on it, if I keep my knee in a bent position, I can just about walk with minimal pain, but can't walk with normal, straight legs.

Pain is in the area on the photo.
So, kneecap, then radiates down slightly.

Any ideas?
Taken some Ibroprufen, however, this has not touched the pain.

Rest it and elevate it and ice for 10 mins at a time. See what it's like tomorrow.

Could be ligament. You dont need to do anything vigorous to snap one!

rest it, see how it is. Try get an appointment with a physio at your GP
