Hello,

Brief answer: No relation between knee swelling now and a cardiac catheterization done a couple of months ago.

Explanation: My opinion is that any complication after cardiac catheterization related to puncture site would happen within days after the procedure. So that is fairly related. Swelling of 1 knee is an indication for investigation. I mean aspiration of synovial fluid and analysis. Jaw inflammation mostly due to dental problems that need oral hygiene and in some cases anti-inflammatory drugs.

I suggest my patients the following: check for monoarticular joint inflammation with your specialist. Do some labs as CBC and CRP. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about medical history, diabetes, other joint problems, etc.

Conclusion: I suggest you check your patient joint with your specialist. Meanwhile, Paracetamol, analgesia, leg elevation, and hot fomentation are perfect till that happen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
