General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You had swelling of knee joint and pain and had history of knee surgery. Even you have started riding bike. But when you walked for 2.5 miles with running half a mile you got swelling and pain in knee joint.This is may be due to sudden started walking for long distance and running which leads to stress on knee joint and such symptoms appears.
For this you can take pain killers with serretopeptidase which will relieve your pain, give rest to your knee joint, dont bear weight on that leg, you can take hot and cold fomentation alternately and you should take rest with that knee above your body level by putting pillow beneath your knee.
When your symptoms get subsided you should consult your treating Orthopaedic surgeon and also start your leg exercise under consultation of physiotherapist which will help you not to get such symptoms again.
Hope this might help you. Take care
