What Causes Swelling On Knee With Pain?
I recently went on vacation and walked 10-12 hours aday. When I came home my knee was swollen and very sore. I expected this but now it has been 7 weeks and the pain keeps getting worse. I can only bend my knee half way before the pain is unbearable. The pain is also in the back or bend of my knee. It is a sharp burning pain. It feels hot to the touch. What could be wrong?

Hi, Thanks for your query.
From description pain seems to be inflammatory in nature. Give rest. Take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Get it checked out to rule out any infection.
Hope this helps you.
Warm regards
