Hello,

I have read your query.

It looks that there is soft tissue injury at your knee cap with swelling of bursa over your knee cap.There can be associated strain of muscle of calf due to sudden contraction of muscle.You should not stressed by this,you should do following to have relief in this-

-You should do rest.

-Do cold fomentation with help of ice pack.

-I generally prescribe good anti inflammatory analgesic like aceclofenac for such patients.

-Avoid putting strain over your limb.

Hope all this will help you.
