hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

Depending upon your age the further guess work can be made. If you are 40+ then there are chances of early degenerative changes in the bone. If you are lower than it than chances of soft tissue injury chances are there.

Now to help you better, i will advice to take an MRI scan of the knee to understand the internal structures of the knee. As without knowing the internal structures of the knee, it will be a provisional diagnosis, and the use of the technology will help provide good inputs.

Further more, you need a thorough lower limb musculokseletal assessment as to check the strength in the muscle and based on that the exercises will be implemented by the physical therapist.

Also, once the MRI confirms the knee internal structures it will help further to plan the rehabilitation.
