HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that knee joint is very fragile joint and highly vulnerable to injury or trauma, if this is the knee injury then it is advisable to go for x-ray of knee joint, this would ruled out the internal injuries of the knee joint, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
