Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain you are having could be related to a stress injury of the internal structures of the knee. You can use the brace, do a hot fomentation and take a mild pain killer for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
