hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
i understand your concern.
it seem to be problem with knee might be from injury .
its better to consult orthopedcian and get investigation and medication according to his advice.
x ray of the knee joint will rule out any major damage .
if that does not reveal anything further investigation might be needed.
regards
