Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knee
My legs ache and I have shooting pain in my left knee. My feet hurt and by end of day my ankles are swollen. Sometimes it seems its swollen behind my left knee. Should I make an appointment to see my doctor? Can sugar cause these kinds of symptoms?

Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HealthCareMagic

Yes, you have to absolutely go to an Orthopaedic doctor. He will take an x ray of the knee to know the cause of pain.
This is probably, severe Osteoarthritis that is causing you pain and swelling.
Please make an early appointment.
Hope this helps!
