Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have swelling in both knees by the quad and its been like that for a week , i have no pain just discomfort and trouble bending the knees. What seems to be the issue? I think I may have fluid. If so, how long will it take me to start playing sports after draining the knees?
Hello, Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. The effusion in your knee may be from different reasons such as rheumatoid arthritis or even trauma of the knee if you had a fall or accident or overuse in sports. You need a complete check with tests and examination such as MRI or xray to find it out. Dr. Selmani
