Brief Answer:
Get a second opinion for MRI report and require knee brace or cast for 4 weeks and bed rest.

Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.

Based on what you said, it is recommended to get a second opinion for MRI report to exclude ligament injury. After exclusion, you will most likely need a knee brace or cast for atleast 4 weeks. Even if there is slight ligament tear, it can be healed by this technique.

You may take tab. naproxen 20mg once a day for your pain. Best rest and decreased movement of your affected knee will drastically improve your condition.

Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.

Regards!
Dr. Ali Raza
