I am a 32 year old male. I want to know how do I manage my knee pain since I can't see my doctor during Covid-19?

I would recommend a telemedicine visit. There are a lot of doctors who can see you through a zoom call and help to treat you even without seeing you in person. Doctors do a physical exam in person but sometimes the questions that they ask in the answers that you give are enough to provide help and treatment.
It can all depend on how bad the knee damage is that is causing the pain. Getting a good evaluation is very important. There are apps that you can try to reach a physician. I am available on Doximetry for telemedicine consults.
Unfortunately, there's not much to do besides RICE therapy. R=Rest; I=Ice; C=Compression; E= Elevation. Put an Ace Wrap around it, elevate it, don't overuse it; and ice it at least four times a day.
Good luck!!
