Hello,
Most probably it is due to conditions like knee joint effusion. It is nothing but a condition where fluid collects in the joint cavity.
Consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI done. If there is excess fluid, it has to be aspirated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
