Leg Pain Around Knee, Stiffness Above Knee, Seems To Be Fluid Around The Knee. Have MS Taking Tysabri Treatment
All of a sudden I was walking just fine, and then I had trouble walking with pain in the left leg. It seemed to be around the knee area but then the pain and stiffness in the thigh right above the knee. There seems tobe fluid around the knee. I did not injure or twist my leg. I have MS and are now taking tysabri for treatment. Does it start in the knees when the legs are affected

Hi, it has nothing to be related to the M.S. the sudden onset of pain may be due to the arthritis, may be osteo arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. You may need to have an M.R.I. for confirmation, so i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon.
I to my patient prescribe neurotropic injections for10 consecutive days, ofloxacin, and antiinflamatory drugs. Thank you.
