Could i have pulled something in my knee?

i played soccer in spring and on one of my games i thought i might have hyperextened my knee. but it has been giving me really bad pains lately. i'm in cheer now and when i do the spits it hurts pretty bad but only on that knee. like it's stretching it out. the pain is on my left knee right under my knee cap and to the left a little, right in the dip. i feel like i might have done more that hyperextended it, could i have pulled a ligament or my meniscus?
