Hello, Your description suggests that you have an intraarticular (within the joint) problem. The swelling could be due to hemarthrosis (blood inside the joint).Propably your meniscus or ligaments might have been injured. To pick up the same, you need MRI scan. Based on the report you need to be treated accordingly. Regards
