hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you had a fall on the knee, I understand by the mechanism of the injury this could be related to a ligament injury and x-ray can not show this. Taking an MRI will help assist further.

Also there is a knee flexion and extension related issue which relates to the pain in function so a physical therapy is needed to regain the full ROM of the knee and the Strengthening of the knee .
