Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Stiffness in knee and pain on single side is Monoartitular arthritis. Most common cause in developing countries is tuberculosis. But it can be also Monoartitular rheumatoid arthritis. Chances of this problem due to cancer is very rare. This needs to be investigated with 1. Xray of involved knee anteroposterior and lateral views 2. MRI of involved knee to confirm diagnosis. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile start tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day for pain relief and start knee range of motion exercises to reduce stiffness. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
