Needs evaluation...: If someone has not seen you yet you need to get examined in order to get a final diagnosis. In the meantime, if you have not done so, rest, elevate your leg at least 20-30minutes daily and alternate hot and cold packs. If not allergic take ibuprofen or the like three times a day. You need to follow up with your doctor on this.

Ortho: If your knee is "giving out" then you need to have an Ortho evaluation.
Until that is done, cont with the knee brace to protect from further injury.
