What Are The Possible Treatment Sfor Swelling And Pain In The Right Knee ?
My 11 yr old has pain in his right knee. He has had it for around 2 months. It is slightly swollen under the knee cap and it is sensitive to the touch. He played football up to last yr. Most recently he hurt his elbow pitching and has been resting it. Any thoughts?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to HCM . Pain in the knee joint for 2 months and 11years old suggests juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. As he is less than 15 years old you also exclude rheumatic arthritis. Hence consult a pediatrician and investigate thoroughly . After assigning the diagnosis correct course of treatment to be started. Hope this reply serves your purpose. Please feel to ask any further queries. Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
