Did I seriously injure my knee?

I couple months ago I fell and hit my knee on the hard part of the extension cord. I am experiencing a little discomfort and it looks dented. It also cracks a when I bend it.

We cant' really answer that.  If it hurts to use it, you might have injured it.  If it doesn't hurt to use it, you probably didn't.  A little discomfort is to be expected, that's most likely a bruise, but if there's trouble bending it or putting weight on it, that's evidence of a knee problem.
