Hello,
You must consult a vascular surgeon as early as possible. Most probably you are having restless leg syndrome also. Read about it here:

Knee pain with swelling in pain may be due to many reason one of the commonest cause is at 45 year old if are overweight may be be due to osteoarthritis of knee, other causes if have severe pain withredness and tenderness on knee may be septic arthritis,
tubercular arthritis. Rarely rhemotoid arthritis may be possible which usually affects many joints. consult orthopedician for detailed evaluation and treatment.
Take care

HI well come to HCM.
Involvement of single knee joint with swelling could be due to osteoarthritis being the
commeest cause for it.If you are obese than chances of occuring at this age are there
other wise its little early for your age.There could be other reason like pyo arthritis,
Haemoarthritis etc.Better consult ortho paedic surgeon for final conclusion. Thanks
