Doesn't sound like it's broken, but you really should have it checked by a doctor.
And I'd stay away from your brother when he's angry.

Believe me, you know if it's broken. You can't walk on it at all, and usually you can't bend it. You may have an internal bruise. If it doesn't subside in two weeks, go to the doc. Worst case scenerio would be a small fracture or a muscle tear, but it is unlikely unless you are in constant severe pain.

if it has been over a week chances are that you may have an internal bruise,swelling is generally very prominent and in most cases not all there will be bruising and discoloration that does not mean you may not have a small fracture even if it is a small fracture there will be nothing but pampering and time that will heal it

You probably have a bruised muscle, but if
it don't get better in a few days, have it x-rayed.
Also, take a large iron frying pan and when
brother is asleep crack him on the knee cap
with it.
