It's probably ok but: I question the etiology for your pain/discomfort if its just inflamed it should calm down with nsaids or a cortisone shot if that doesn't work you still may have something wrong in your knee i did a similar case a month ago and the patient had a meniscal tear which either wasn't treated or got worse since last year she's now better.
