Why Does My Knee Swell If I Am On My Legs For A Long Time?
I have recently had an arthroscopy (5 week ago) and is undertaking physio. My knee still becomes very swollen if I am on my feet for a long length of time (to the point of crying in pain). My physio keeps saying my body is out of alignment in particular a bone in my foot and also a rib.

In my opinion you can check if postural alignment is the problem by simply standing on your heels (ankle dorsi flextion ) and leaning forwards for 1 min , if pain goes away then you physical therapist is correct
if not this means that you probably
have a torn meniscal horn or ACL tear
Good Luck
