What Is The Treatment For Swelling Due To Fluid In The Knees?
Hi, im a 17 year old female, weigh 46kg and is about 165cm tall. I have had a problem with my knee for nearly 9 weeks now. It has been swollen for 9 weeks and i have been told its fluid in my knee. It has never gone and any activity i do it swells up alot more. I have been going to physio and firstly they said my knee cap was slightly to the left and they fixed that by strengthening my inside quad muscle. I have next to know pain in my knee but the swelling or fluid just won t go if anything it just keeps getting more fluid in it. The physio suspect that there is scar tissue or something in my bursa that is causing the swelling and are trying to break it down. However i feel like its not getting better and i want to get back into my sports as i am missing alot of competitions. What do you think? thanks
Your symptoms are suggestive of local inflammation of the joint tissues. For this reason, I would recommend performing a knee MRI in order to examine its ligaments and meniscus. Surgery (with endoscopy) may be needed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
