HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, knee joint is highly fragile and vulnerable to injury and the most delicate structure is meniscus, it need to be tested for fracture and other disability so in my opinion better to get done the MRI till then NSAID can be used and take care not to bend the knee joint any more hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
