Hi,
First of all, you have to find the cause for knee pain. In my opinion, with previous episodes of swelling, the muscles have been weakened. There could have been damage to menisci and ligaments also. I suggest pain killers and MRI + exercises for strengthening your knee muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
