My vastus lateralis muscle doesn't hurt, but it's been slightly swollen near the knee for a few weeks and i can't bend it all the way. what's wrong and how can i fix it?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
