Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you might have knee synovitis. In this condition there is accumulation of inflammatory fluid in the knee joint.This can be caused by limping since long time.
Also it can be caused by sudden twisting or sleeping in wrong position. i would suggest you to do ice application, take Brufen tablet and compression bandage. I would also suggest you to avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and brisk walking.
i hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
