What Could Be Reason For Sudden Hardened Fluid Filling Up In Left Knee Causing Immobility?
Hello - I am a 35 year old male and my left knee has filled up with fluid considerably, during the past 24-36 hours. I do not recall over-extending myself or feeling any major pain to bring this on. Worse yet, since applying a combination of ice and heat overnight and today, the fluid seems to have hardened and I am completely immobile, with no range of motion. Any thoughts on what may be going on?
