It's simply traumatic manifestation of having impact on knee. It will go by itself but will take time. It pains too.
Had I been your treating doctor, I would have advised you to take turmeric 1/2 tsp with warm milk or water daily for few days and see. It's a natural antiinflammatory, analgesic and bacteriostatic herb which has no side effect. It's safe and do not interact with other measures.
Even little turmeric powder mixed in warm clarified butter may also be applied on knee like poultice or some bandage may be used to cover it. However it stains the fabric so wear accordingly. In India many healthy people also use turmeric milk drink esp in winters to keep fit. It's Ayurvedic wisdom.
If you are in some pain killer etc, do not take it much to avoid side effects. But may opt the use of turmeric additionally.
Hope it helps you.
