Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the legs on bending with swelling can be due to arthritis. I have seen the attached image. But it needs a direct examination and few investigations like blood tests and X-rays to confirm the exact cause. The treatment will then depend on the cause. Till then you can start with mild pain killers and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
