Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you may be having knee synovitis. This can be due to inflammation. Some time a cramp can also cause such pain. I would recommend you following.
1.Take Brufen tablet one to two daily.
2.Hot water fomentation.
3.Volitran ointment
4.Compression bandage
I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks.
