Hello,
There are two possibilities,first you have nerve root compression in your lower back that causes pain in back and radiates to your thigh and knee.
Second is you have lower back root compression along with arthritis of your knee pain in the thigh is referred pain from either of the two. Second one is more probable as you have knee swelling as well which is not likely if the cause is root compression only.
You need to get x-ray of your bavk and knee and if required mri as well. Further management depends on the cause and severity of the disease.
In the mean time you need to do warm saline fomentation of the affected parts and physiotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
