Nonspecific: Your symptoms are nonspecific especially if there is no history of recent injury or sprain. If you obtain no relief after resting the knee, applying cold and taking an anti-inflammatory like Advil or Aleve, (naproxen) consult your physician or orthopedic specialist as you could be dealing with an arthritis or some internal derangement of the knee.
