General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
This needs evaluation by your surgeon and you need either an MRI or a ct scan of the knee.

This may indicate a meniscal tear, a cruciate ligament tear, or a chronic bursitis of the knee and there is appropriate treatment for all of those once the diagnosis is made
