Sharp knee pain when going up and down stairs/bending my knee after my first backpacking trip

This past weekend, I went on my first backpacking trip. The last 5 miles were all straight down hill which caused a lot of knee pain. Now, three days later, I still have excruciating, stabbing pain on the right side when bending my knee/applying pressure/going up and down stairs. I have been icing my knee. What could this be and what should I be doing about it? Thanks!
