Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have inflated knee. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like damaged Menisci , tendinitis , osteoarthritis , gout , bursitis , baker's cyst or chondromalacia . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like CT scan , MRI and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend exercises according to your condition after proper disgnosis . Doctor may also recommend surgery in severe damage or to repair the meniscus . For now apply warm compresses , take proper rest , do not massage and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . You can also apply anti inflammatory and analgesic cream like voletra . Do not exercises of your own without the advice of expert .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
