Discomfort in knee which swelled up after a few days. dr said to walk on it and x-ray doesn't show anything. what do i do as it still hurts @front?

Time: X-rays only show bony abnormalities therefore there could be come other soft tissue injury or inflammation going on. You did not give enough detail for a diagnosis. Time and relative rest are best at this time. If not better in a few more weeks then a trial of physical therapy may help.
