I stretched my knee and the ligament(i think mcl) felt like it was stretched. Is this serious?

It was my left knee. i was just flexing it. now the ligament on the inside of my left knee hurts when i put pressure on it. Is this bad, cause my knee looks pretty good. No deformity. Im only 15!!!!! I cant really straighten my knee w/out pain, and it doesnt hurt when i rest. Does anyone know the diagnosis?

1. You can try a couple of things, rest it, ice it and elevate it, especially above the level of the heart when you're in bed. Take an anti-inflammatory for a couple of days such as Advil and you can try a knee brace for support. If it doesn't start to feel better soon, go to the doctor, but don't over exert it, you might make the injury worse.
