Not so sure
My r knee pain and swelling . to stop the pain, my doctor advised me to take corticosteroid med for 5 days and it's effective . but everytime i stop it , the pain and swell goes back . so i went to an ortho and he advised to inject a med direct to my bone instead of taking med for it can cause a further damage on my other organs . it is effective too , but after 2 weeks , the pain and swell goes back . i can't walk well again . i've been suffering for 3 months now .

Do the cat/cow stretch. Get on all fours, with your arms straight and your hands directly under your shoulders; your knees hip-width apart.

If there is no injury- consult Rheumatologist to see any inflammatory arthritis is a possibility. If there is injury - get an MRI scan and consult orthopaedic doctor
