Hello, As per your history, it may be due to meniscus or ligament injury. For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedic consultation. Use knee cap. Use support while walking. Do regular physical therapy. In case of tear you may require surgical intervention after consultation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
