Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query here.

I do not see any pictures attached. Kindly upload the pictures again or you can send them at YYYY@YYYY and address it to my name: Dr Vaishalee Punj

It is most probably a runners knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome). It is best treated by giving rest to the joint and wearing a knee brace during any movements.

If there is suspected ligament injury that may have happened during tackling during game. Then an orthopedic visit is required to confirm diagnosis.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
