Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

All your symptoms (constant pain, difficulty in walking, swelling, restricted range of motion) are highly suggestive of Infection in the knee joint, unless proved otherwise.

I suggest you to consult an experienced arthroscopic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
