Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,

From your description it seems you might having exostosis ( benign bony outgrowth) in knee.
Before proceeding further, I need x-ray of right knee.
If already done kindly upload your x-ray, so that I can help you in better way. You have a feature to upload the report/images by yourself on the right side of this query page.

Awaiting your response.
