HI
Well come to HCM
Single major joint osteoarthritis may be the cause and this need to ruled out and for this MRI of knee joint is must till then this can be managed with any NSIAD and best would be Tab Diclofenac with Acetaminophen once in day, stop bending knee joint beyond 90 degree, knee joint is very fragile unit, highly vulnerable to injury, and this need to be taken care, have a nice day.
