Pain on knee 23 years old

I fell down yesterday but not sure which knee receive the most impact. My right knee has some bruises while my left knee has no bruises, no swelling, no warm, no redness. But this morning when I woke up. I felt an aching pain on my left knee which has no bruises, mostly on medial side of kneecap and also the location directly next to my kneecap. The pain is on and off and doesnt last more than 20-30mins,sometimes few minutes sometimes less. I was worried if there is anything wrong with my knee but i don’t have walking difficulties or climbing difficulties
