HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem and I could say that this could be single joint arthritis right now it can be best treated with the "celecoxib" with the short course of steroid (With the history of no diabetic) do not bend the knee joint beyond 90 degree angle, take care of your knee joint have nice day.
