Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

It could be an infection of the bursa around the knee.

Best to get complete blood count and CRP to rule out infection. Avoid kneeling on the knee. Apple ice or warm fomentation, whichever helps.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
