Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.

Hi, you need further evaluation to see any laxity in your knee and any other problem in the knee. If you are not symptomatic- physio will do. Consult sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon.
