Make her sit at a height from where she can get up with ease and ask her to avoid bending her knee for more than 60-70 degrees while sitting. Sitting at lower heights and trying to get up for n number of times is creating overwork for the weak muscles of leg, especially the thighs. Repeated irritation of joint by doing activities that they don't like is responsible for swelling.
Next Steps
this is patellofemoral pain primarily with muscle imbalances across leg.
