What Causes Intense Knee Pain?

I am having knee pain that is more intense after being in a sitting position for even as little as 5 minutes. I have a brace I am using again and have been told I have fluid under my knee cap. I m wondering if this fluid could have built up over that course of the last year to cause so much discomfort?

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

Noted you have fluid accumulation in knee joint...
Do you have history of trauma???
Here you can have severe osteoarthritis like condition....
In which as tear of synovial membrane fluid can get accumulated.
You should consult orthopedic surgeon for detail investigation.

MRI is also useful for rule out ligament or menisci injury....

If need surgical intervention done with use of disease modifying drugs...
The accumulated fluid if not resolving then needs removal and send for pathological examination...

Take care.
