Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Your knee symptoms can be due to monoarticular arthritis.
You may be having monoarticular rheumatoid arthritis.

You may need blood investigation and biopsy.
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints,
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are sometimes prescribed in more severe cases. These include methotrexate and sulfasalazine.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
