Hi
Thanks for the query

The description you have stated seem more likely due to stress trauma to the ligament or tendon of your right knee. As this age and with regular physical activities there very minimum chances of conditions like arthritis.

It is suggested not to go for exercise for atleast a week and take some anti inflammatory drugs like diclofenic sodium atleast 2 times a day along with acetaminophen. apply crept bandage to the knee, it will help prevent the swelling.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks
