What Causes Intermittent Pain And Swelling In The Left Knee?
I suddenly have periodic pain and weakness in my left knee. There is no apparent swelling and I played 18 holes of golf Monday. However the pain still hits and seems to get worse after sitting or driving for long periods. Do I need to see a doctor or is there a home remedy? YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
You should see a doctor if the pain is severe. If there was no trauma then it may be a tendon or ligament injury. Use warm compresses and some tylenol (if you have no liver disease) and if it is not getting better, then see a doctor soon.
Regards
