Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case.
As per your history and symptoms there can be injury to ligament or menisci of knee.
I will advise you to check your Vit B12 and Vit D3 level.
Avoid sitting for long time in same position.
Till time you can take anti-inflammatory and calcium with vit D.
If pain persists I will advise you to further investigate.
Partial tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy by USG and TENS.
Exercises for knee which will help you to strengthen knee muscles.
In lying flat supine on back – move your ankle up and down[plantar flexion dorsiflexion],keeping small towel below knee-press your patella[knee cap ] on towel and hold for 15 sec,lift your leg straight alternately [10-15 times].
Lying on your tummy- flex knee alternately, make knee rotation in flexion.
Sitting on chair- extend your legs alternately [hold in extension for 15 sec]
Standing half squat taking support of wall to back.
Was there any history of injury to knee or episode of sudden twist to knee?
For persistent symptom you may need to consult doctor and if required MRI can be done.
