Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice
There might be collection of blood or fluid and it might be due to a condition called as knee joint effusion. It will be better to take an MRI scan to rule out ligament or tendon involvement. You have to consult an orthopedic for detailed evaluation.
