Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an injury of the knee.
I suggest to do an x-ray of the knee to exclude a fracture.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the inflammation.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
