Pain above knee when sitting & get up
Have done gym recently and increased the weight limits I do.. I got this pain in knee and ignored it and continued gym and zumba.
When the pain didnt go away, I spoke to a doctor he gave me anti inflammatory medicines. It's been 4 days but the pain doesn't seem to reduce.
I also applied ice on and above knee.
Not sure what to do next

Increased activity leading to pain could be a symptom of your patella wearing out because of undue stress. I suggest you get a proper evaluation of your knee joint before resuming your exercises.
Next Steps
See and orthopaedic surgeon for proper evaluation

If there is no relief with the medication you need to go back to your Orthopaedic doctor for revaluation and X-rays if necessary
