Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.

An X - Ray of the concerned knee, both AP and Lateral view will help in planning for further management.

You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with serratipeptidase and Omeprazole 40mg once a day.
Give proper rest to your knee.Tying a tubular bandage or crepe bandage will help.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks
