Answers:
This is something you'll have to make your own judgement call on based on how painful it is, whether it's getting less/more painful, and how long you want to wait it out. It could just be a contusion (aka bruise) under or around the kneecap. It may not even be visible to you, but by bending your knee you're applying pressure to it, and thus the pain. If this is the case, the doc will give you some advil and tell you to take it easy, but if you think it's something more - definitely get it checked out.
