  • If there is no history of trauma it might be a "tendinitis" of the iliotibial band.
    Rest ice and inflammatory medication should be enough. If pain persist you should visit an orthopaedic surgeon who might prescribe MR imaging

  • You should do an MRI of your knee to confirm a lesion of the lateral meniscus or other type of knee injury.

  • First of all Sir you must see an Orthopaedic Surgeon and after the clinical examination you should have a diagnosis. Until then ice therapy is a way to comfort your symptoms
