Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI of the knee. As, you are having swelling within the joint and certain home remedies are tried. You should get first thing is the knee joint clinically assessed and an MRI done. Since in the later stages these injuries turns back and leads to Osteoarthritis of the knee in the early stages. Also, post the clinical assessment, you will be advised to undergo physical therapy, as it will help improve your strength and mobility. The physical therapy will even help to delay the early stages of OA knee which becomes common as the degenerative changes occurs. Earlier the strengthening starts will help avoid the damage to the internal structures of the knee joint. In my clinical practice we recommend the earliest physical therapy keeping in mind that the future problems should not arise. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
