Thanks for writing to us.
At your stage with fluid in the joint space and bakers cysts, inflammation and pain are expected. You will have to continue taking antiinflammatory drugs for your symptoms.
Giving adequate rest to the knee joint is a must for early recovery. Using a knee brace will help in reducing the pain.
For frequent and repeated fluid collections, intra- articular steroid injections may be given after consulting with your orthopaedician.
Avoid any kind of knee exercise while there is pain and inflammation.
Doing a regular hot fomentation of the joint with application of local analgesic gel will also help you.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.


Thanks for writing again.
Crunching in the knee is most likely due to the resistance the bones feel when they slip over each other. Dont worry so much about it. It is not damaging your cartilage or any joint structures.
You only need to worry about pain. Dislocation of patella is not problematic until there are any symptoms. You can discuss about removal of patella surgically with your orthopaedician if the symptoms are not relieved with medicines.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Wishing you a trouble free speedy recovery.
