I have been getting treatment for Achilles tenditis and now my right leg on the inside around the knee is very painful running up the muscle area, red in colour and swollen - I have just looked up DVT - not sure if that s the problem but would you recommend I go to the doctors?

Hi there , thanks for posting your query on HCM.

Any new onset swelling and change in colour around a joint is a matter of concern. It can be due to injury, infection, inflammation, dvt. etc.Since it is very painful, if I was your treating doctor, I would like to personally see you and run some tests after that to be sure.

Hope this helps.

All the best. regards.
