Swollen Knees And Thighs. Cause?

My knees and thighs are swollen, but not really my thighs, just the part above my knees. I don't know what caused it. I ate some parsley, hoping that would get rid of some water, but I don't know if it's going to work.
I think Dr. Moser used to be my gynecologist, and I think Dr. Mintz's father used to be my math teacher.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swollen knees and thighs with normal feet is not likely to be due to water retention. This needs a direct examination and evaluation to find out the exact cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
