A fracture could do this. Did you have an xray? You must check into this and I recommend consulting an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.

You could have a fractured knee cap and displacement. Swelling and pain after a month is a sign of much concern. A x-ray and visit to an orthopedist is highly recommended.
