It also have had pain with standing and tenderness along the lateral side of the knee with a little bit of swelling. It isn t bone pain. What could it be?

Hello,
I think you can go to an orthopedic doctor. I think it can be tendinitis inflammation of the tendons due to injury of hard work. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil or acetaminophen for pain is advisable. You may need to have rest and avoid movement for a while till it gets better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
