How Can swelling Along With Lumps In The Knee Be Treated?

Hi, Yesterday afternoon I had just finished my shift at work. And on arriving at home, I noticed my right knee was totally swollen around the kneecap. After a short hour I was walking with a limp. I had another interview for a new job coming up quick, so I ignored it for the time being. As I woke up this morning and it felt totally fine. No more swelling at least. So a half an hour ago, I took a shower. As I stepped out and looked into the mirror, I noticed both my kneecaps are extremely dis colored. Purple and spots of a tender white. Some lumps. I ve never seen something like this on my body before. I m wondering if you can help me pinpoint the cause. I have pictures of you need.
