Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe knee pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like anterior cruciate ligament injury meniscus injury as you also mention in query , inflammation in the bursae or inflammation of one or more tendons . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon and get certain tests done like CT scan , MRI and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory or may recommend surgery if cortisone shorts doesn't work. For now take proper rest , do gentle massage and apply warm compresses . Doctor may also recommend certain exercises to strengthen the muscle like inner quards .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
