What Causes Swelling In The Knees?
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.
