Suggest Medication For Right Knee Due To A Large Protrusion

I have been cleaning houses to make some extra money. I am having problems with my right knee. When I try to bend my knee it feels like an elastic band that is going to snap, also when bending the knee there is a large protrusion in the outer side of my right knee a little bigger than a golf ball.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I would like to suggest you to get MRI of the knee joint to see if there is any damage inside the knee joint like meniscus tear or ligament injury.I would also recommend you to wear knee brace and do not walk fast or jump. Apply ice to knee and compression bandage. Also take Brufen for pain relief.
