He has swelling on his knee the pain is manly in the back of the knee on the right side and on the front of the knee left side. Could you please let us know what could be wrong he has had 3 surgeries on that knee for MCL but he said that it doesn t feel the same as those injuries. Thank your

Hello,
No, we cannot tell what could be wrong with this history. Kindly get an x-ray knee done. without that, we can distinguish a ligament tear or fracture or anything.
As you say pain and swelling that means there could be some trivial trauma and as he had previous episodes before so it's better to get an x-ray.
Please come back to us with reports. For now, he can take any painkiller available.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
