Is Inflammation In Knee A Cause For Concern?
I twisted my knee about 3 weeks ago and it has been locking up and popping since. There is no swelling but a burning sensation in it sometimes. No redness. I ve been putting off going to the doctor because I figured if there is no swelling that it probably wasn t that serious. Is this something that goes away on it s own? Or should I be seeing a doctor for it?
