Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knee
I am a 56 year old female and I am having pain in my left knee. I was at a concern last evening and the seats don t provide a lot of leg room. Oh my God, my knees felt like they were burning. Thank God for intermission where I was able to stand and shake my legs. I have never experienced this type of pain before. I can definitely see that my left knee looks swollen compared to my right. Is it possible I have liquid that has to be drained? Is this the onset of arthritis?????

dear madam
it may be possible that you are having early osteoarthritis.
the swelling would subside in some days given proper rest to the knee, but it is suggested that please get an x ray of the knee done to make sure of the cause of the problem, please get it examined by an orthopedician
