I fell on my knee but did not have immediate problems. two weeks later, the knee was beginning to hurt to the outside of the knee. Been to physical therapy and not relief. Have noticed a knot below the knee. When on my knees, it is very sore and I feel pulling behind the knee. When squat and raise up, pain is in the bend of the knee. What can I do for relive this pain.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You need X-ray of knee joint in AP/Lateral view. It will exclude bony injury.
You also need clinical examination for suspected soft tissue injury .MRI of knee joint can be done in such cases.
MRI can detect ACL/PCL injury and meniscus status.
Treatment depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
For immediate pain, you can take analgesics like tablet acelofenac.
Get well soon.
Take Care

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
From the description, I feel that you could have suffered a SOFT TISSUE STRAIN.
The management for soft tissue injury is as follows -
* Rest to the injured part and don't involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues.
* Ice packing should be applied for about 20 minutes once in every 2 hours.
* Use elastic compression bandage around the swollen area
* Analgesic & anti inflammatory medications as needed
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
