I did used to run before , I am a dog walker and the knee tends to swell after being on my feet all day , no pain apart from sharp pain sometimes from knee down leg when using clutch in the car .

Hi,
Check with knee ultrasonography once, best is MRI, it can tell best if cause is not found! Check your ECG, BP, RFT and LFT also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
