Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I would suggest you to get MRI to check if there is any ligament or meniscus injury. Some time there can be softening of bone under patella which is called as chondromalacia.
Apply ice and Diclofenec ointment to knee joint.
Meet a physio and learn static quadriceps exercises.
