here are a few suggestions. i suggest anti-inflammatory tablet like voveran 75 mg (diclofenac) twice a day after meals. consult your doctor discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. for swelling use a compression bandage and ice the area for 20 minutes at a time. avoid squatting lunges and stairs till the pain subsides. also you need a good manual therapist to assess you for hamstring tightness quad weakness including vmo (vastus medialis oblique - thigh muscle) and gluteal weakness. try the above out for at least 10 days followed by three to four weeks of physiotherapy to get complete relief. for further information consult an orthopaedician and traumatologist online --> <link>
