What Does Knee Pain With Red Patches On The Thigh Indicate?

I am a 75 year old female. Recently bothered by severe pain behind my knee. Bakers cyst ruled out. Test for blood clot inclusive. At the same time period as on set to pain red splotches about a dime in size on my left thigh also appeared. Does this give any indication what to look for?

Hi,

It can be arthritis. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
