What Causes Chronic Pain In The Knee And Swelling In The Leg With History Of Nerve Compression?
I have had MRI of knee...results were either a acl tear or ACl cyst. I have pulsating pain in knee and leg swells. I have a pinched nerve on L3 and bulge on L5. I have had radiology guided epidural shots in back which helped a lot. What is causing pain in my knee?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that swelling of leg needs a physical examination to rule out if it is DVT or cellulitis. Kindly consult a physician personally for proper physical examination and diagnostic evaluation and treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
