Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My knee & the area just below it (front) is chronically swollen. I have recently been prescribed compression socks for swollen legs. (I m on my feet a great deal at work.). The sock have not affected the knee swelling at all. Any Idea what could be up with my knee?
According to your complain you have problem of swelling at knee area that may be because of any trauma to knee.
You are mentione that there is swelling around knee that one may be because of Bursitis means inflammation of bursa. Arthritis problem cause swelling and pain at knee area.Cartilage degeneration result more fluid accumlation at knee area lead to swelling.
Consent a physician for further diagnosis. Knee x ray give exact idea about disease. Avoid over straining and more load over knee.
I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Take care. Thank you.
