What Causes Fluid Filled Sac On The Right Knee?
I have swelling and pain in my right knee. In Nov. the Rd, drained the fluid from it and gave me a cortisone shot. NowmI am having problems again. Pain and swelling, probably more fluid. I have to hold onto something to get back up if I stoop. Could this be a torn meniscus?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your problem is simply recurrent knee effusion , with such cases in my clinic I prefer doing Knee MRI to know the intra articular pathology
( meniscal,ligamentous,bony or articular cartilage injury).
I advise you to keep your leg elevated ,to use cold compresses,anti edematous and anti-inflammatory medications.
