Hello,
Severe knee pain with swelling of the leg can be due to arthritis, bursitis or DVT. Proper diagnosis needs a direct examination and few investigations like X-ray and color Doppler of the leg.
Till then mild pain killers, rest hot compress, application of local analgesic gel and a knee brace can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
