Q: knee pain when standing

I have sharp knee pain when standing or walking a certain way. It's a shooting pain and hurts really bad. I don't know how I hurt it but would like some comments on it.

Where is the pain located exactly (front, back, inside, outside of the knee)?
Did this pain appear abruptly after some sports activities?
Do you have additional swelling in the knee region (did the swelling appear within an hour of the injury)?
