Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I have studied your case and I can assure you that bone edema never causes such pain. I would suggest you to show it to a knee specialist. I think you are also having cartilage damage for which i would suggest you following.
1. Static quadriceps exercises.
2. Warm water fomentation and voletran ointment.
3. Tablet Brufen daily along with Dicerin which will help cartilage to grow.
4. Avoid squatting, cross leg sitting and running on hard surface.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. You can share your MRi report with me. I will try my best to help you.
thanks.
