Maybe you banged it against something. Maybe put some ice on the part of the knee that hurts for about 10-15 minutes. IS there any swelling? The Ice should help that too. If you want you can take some Aleave for the pain or what you normally take for the pain.

Pulling a muscle in the knee is very easy to do. You may have done something simple that just put a little Stress on it, and that's why you feel pain .
For now you can Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day.
500mg of calcium and magnesium can help with diminishing the pain.
