Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
You have not mentioned your age but most probably it is knee synovitis. I would suggest you to get a MRI of the knee joint as you are having this since 4 month so it is better to find out the cause rather then just taking painkillers. If there is synovitis then its cause has to be find out and treatment should be done accordingly. It may also need surgery of there is any cartilage damage in side knee joint.
I find this answer helpful
