Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankle And Painful Kneecap
I have been having left knee pain and discomfort since 12/14/14. I have had an xray, and mri which will be discussed with me on 1/5. Following the MRI on 12/22, I have since developed pain, swelling, and tenderness behind my knee and down the calf. As of 12/31, I woke with a very swollen ankle but without ankle pain. Currently, my symptoms are: a swollen ankle with no pain, an intermittent swollen calf (when leg is not elevated), a small bump behind left knee that is very tender to the touch, a heavy, firm leg, medial knee pain, and pain to the right of my knee cap when bending and walking. Should I seek medical immediate attention, and how can I reduce the swelling?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern here the underlying cause of swelling is more important and this need to be treated else pain and swelling can be reduce with any NSAID medicines ans keeping the limb in elevated position and complete bed rest, hope this information helps, take care.
