I think I have a knee injury. I'm not as active as I used to be but certainly not fat or overweight. I was walking down a hill and stomping my feet down and now my knee has been hurting for the past month on occassion. What can I do to alleviate the pain besides seeing a physician or doctor? I thought maybe it just needs time to heal? Maybe I should do some light exercise?

Why so negative? Is just a knee hit.
You can as you said yourself visit a doctor. To alleviate pain, otherwise, you can try to do veery light exercise and stretching (much carefully), but also taking pains relievers should do the trick.
Anon, don't worry for things that are not dependant on your will. There's no reason for which a knee pain should deplete you of your happiness, unless you allow it!

I can't see a doctor. I'll try those though. I should've been exercising these past years instead of not doing it. I just hope this damage is reversible because joint pain at almost wizard age is pretty sad.

No. You probably tore a knee tendon a little bit, based on the stomping and the duration of the injury. If this is the case, the good news is that it's not completely severed, so it will heal on its own. The bad news is that you're gonna need a lot of months of rest, otherwise you might tear it further. That happened to me doing squats around November 2020, and I healed by June. Do not attempt active rehabilitation; only athletes can get away with that. Rest for a year I guess.

if you haven't exercised in a while, for next time: Take it slow.
Suddenly forcing your body to adapt to strenuous activity is a recipe for pain and potential injury. Definitely don't sit around and do nothing, light exercise like short walks, but avoid flinging yourself up and down hills, and don't do shit like deadlifting. Keep track of what particular motions cause it to hurt, it may help the doctor (or physiotherapist) figure out what might be wrong.

If it's serious pain listen to this guy >>1153618 I was assuming a light sprain or something.

Thanks. It's probably best I it heal for a while then before trying to exercise. If I had to describe the pain: It sometimes hurts when I twist at more than a 45 degree angle and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes when bouncing my leg up and down. Sometimes when standing for longer than 10 minutes. The pain is random and not consistent.

Twisting 45+ degrees is a comparatively pretty extreme movement for the leg. In injury hurting at last at such extreme cases is not surprising.
I currently have nearly fully healed arm that had muscle injury. Everything is fine again except extreme movements like strong twisting of the hand or twisting combined with force like when brushing your teeth. These extreme movements are always the last ones to go normal again.
As long as you can still do normal walking that is already a good sign. Just walk, do normal use of the leg, ut don't stress it for a few months. That is best. Non-use is poison, moderate use so that is keeps warm and well used is best.

OP.

Unironically, pray to God. Now for the secular help:

1.) Put ice to reduce swelling.
2.) Massage damaged area to get the blood flowing.
3.) Sleep, that's how you're body repairs itself.
4.) Don't be quick to jump back into dynamic activities: you'll make things worse if you're too hasty. Go slow.
5.)Stay away from meds, go natural. Synthetic over the counter meds temporarily alleviate the pain, but they will never solve the problem.

Bull, they enable exercise, which solves the problem. Even if they did literally nothing but make the pain go away, that's still no reason to avoid them: life does not come with an effort grade.
