Hi... I suppose the pain could be due to some muscle problem.. weakness and inflammation of certain muscle or a bursa around knee could lead to similar symptoms... Take her to a good Physio..he should be able to fix it.. I also recommend her to meet a orthopaedic for evaluation and medications...if already seen..then fix up an appointment with Physio for pain management and rehabilitation... For now icing can be done frequently.... Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly share with me the details of investigation taken..in case you need more detailed insights and clarification..
