it could mean that your bursa(not sure how spelled) in your knee is swollen. they are there to protect your knee cap and normally have fluid in them. if you hit your knee on something really hard then it could have caused your bursa sack to swell up to protect the knee cap. normally, it just hurts for a little but you can still do things on it, it wont matter.

What is the name of the fluid that lubricates the joints?
The horse's knee is a hinge joint, one of a larger group of joints known as synovial or diarthrodial joints. These joints move along one plane, at the point of contact with the articulating bones. Synovial joints are cushioned by fibrous fluid-filled capsules that surround the joint surfaces to provide lubrication for movement. The fluid inside this membrane is called "synovial fluid," and it protects the bone against excessive friction that would cause erosion and pain. When too little synovial fluid is present, the knee joint can become inflamed and develop arthritis.
