Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling, Stiffness And Pain In The Knees?
I have had over the last two year different kinds of knee pain mostly with the knee cap. That resolved with exercise and physiotherapy, but I now have pain in both knees on the inside. Very difficult to move after sitting, cannot squat, walk without pain and stiff and moderately swollen most of the time. A diagnosis?
It can be due to Osteoarthritis mostly. High serum uric acid may also cause pain n swelling of knee joints. Get an x-ray done (x-ray bilateral knee joints-AP,Lateral view),complete blood count n Sr.Uric acid.
Meanwhile,take an analgesic tablet like aceclofenac n paracetamol combination,and some joint mobilizers containing glucosamine and diacerin.
Kindly review with your blood and x-ray reports.
