Hi,
Repeated knee swelling can progress to your present situation. Please get X-rays of the knee and blood counts like CBC with ESR. Start painkillers and consult an orthopaedic surgeon if the pain does not go away in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
