Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. The other day I turned sideways, and I felt a pain in my right knee. Straight away, my knee became swollen. I have had surgery in the past (clean and scrape). I have fine bones. MRI next week. Will this mean a knee construction as my past knee surgeon told me, one day I will need a total knee replacement. Thanks Kylie

What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Right Knee?
Hello, It could be due to a minor ligament or tendon injury. We have to rule out possibilities like arthritis also. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. Better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
