What Causes A Painful Hard Swelling On The Kneecap?
I have had for many years a painful hard swelling which appears out of my kneecap for no apparent reason. I have had physio to improve the inner thigh muscle, steroid injection (which worked for six weeks) but it seems to be getting worse. I know it s linked to my slipping kneecap.
