Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

You may be having a sprained knee or a knee joint tendinitis. I would suggest you to apply a local pain relieving balm or gel and give hot fomentation for a few days. This will relieve the pain. Also avoid squatting and climbing stairs for a few days. If these symptoms recur then consult a physiotherapist for knee muscle strengthening exercises.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
