Avatar f tn But, I got permanent swelling from last 3 weeks and pain also. Pain is in my lower and upper part of knee. I tried cooling and hot cycle belt of wrap but still pain exists. This all started from nov 07. I never had injury with my knees. Completed my blood test and routine check up in January 08 but everything is normal. I never had consultation with my knees.
Avatar m tn I understand your concern regarding your symptoms. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and it causes pain, swelling, and reduced motion in the joints. if there is no pain associated with the joint cracks or pops, this may be caused by the soft tissue in a joint. Knee popping may also occur if the patella is slightly out of alignment, and rubs on the adjacent tissues. Other causes of joint noise is the snapping of tendons or scar tissue over a prominence, or cavitation.
Avatar n tn Rheumatoid arthritis is a multifactorial disease. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in joints. It can affect any joint but is common in the wrist and fingers. It often starts between ages 25 and 55. No one knows what causes rheumatoid arthritis. Genes, environment, autoimmunity and hormones might contribute. The tendency to develop rheumatoid arthritis may be genetically inherited.
Avatar m tn Any suggestions for going on 3 weeks of knee swelling/pain? thought I hyperexteneded my knee but now synvisc 1 shot may be the culprit. Waiting for xray results, wearing knee brace. Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn Symptoms include pain along the inner or outer side of the knee, stiffness, swelling, and sometimes “locking” of the knee. A piece of torn cartilage may get caught between moving parts of the knee joint and causes the sound. A clicking sound may be heard when moving the knee. The pain may be worse when squatting. I hope this helps.
Avatar m tn If you do have any of these symptoms, it simply means you have them from any 1 of thousands of causes.
Avatar n tn My 10 yo grandson has severe edema in just his right thigh. He has been seen at our local hospitals and now at Boston's Children's Hospital. He has had many tests, scans and has seen over 20 doctors with no diagnosis. The swelling is now moving into his buttocks, lower back and down into his knee. He has no other symptoms, isn't sick or in any pain. He has been told he is a medical mystery. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and if so, what was your diagnosis?
Avatar f tn Pain in the back of the knee can be caused by arthritis or Bakers cysts (cystic accumulation of synovial fluid, also causes a swelling). So as you can see, arthritis can cause an overall knee pain. Ligament injury causes pain to worsen on walking, bending and stretching the knee. Meniscii too if torn or injured, result in joint instability—that is you are not confident the knee joint will take your weight. Often the person feels a popping sensation on moving the joint.
Avatar f tn The pain will come with walking, sometimes very quickly and sometimes not much at all. When the pain comes, I have a swelling on the outside of the knee joint about the size of half a golf ball. When I rest the swelling and pain go away within 10 or 20 minutes. This doesn't sound like arthritis to me. A two-fold question, would these symptoms be consistent with AO? Or do these symptoms sound more like damage to the meniscus? Also...
Avatar n tn Causes of knee swelling include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pseudogout, infection, trauma, and tumors. Causes of generalized swelling (edema) include heart failure, kidney failure, and liver failure (cirrhosis).
Avatar m tn Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. The pain could be related to causes located in the teeth/ gums/ ear/ throat, underlying bones, overlying soft tissue structures such as infections/ inflammations, neuro-muscular causes, injuries/ trauma, growth/ masses etc.
Avatar m tn My six year old has been complaining of a knee pain when he runs fast. This causes him to slow down or stop . These complaints have persisted over the past two or three months. There is no swelling, reddness or tenderness when touched and he does not complain of pain during any other activity except when he runs. Is this something I should be worried about.
Avatar f tn I had knee surgery about a month ago but I just noticed swelling in my knee,leg and foot what can i do to keep the swelling down?
Avatar m tn I went to my PCP the second day for Xrays and they were fine, and the fourth day I had an MRI of my knee which was fine too. By the end of the 4th day, all pain left as suddenly as it came, thank God! I've experience natural childbirth without any medications at all, but I told my husband and Dr. that this was the absolute most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life! My doc is thinking nerve pain since there was no inflammation, injury, or joint pain.
Avatar f tn Then I got calluses on the ball of both feet. The tip of my toes hurt after work. Then I started experiencing pain and swelling in both knees back in Sept. '09. Xrays came back good, but have been experiencing the most weakness in my right leg. The neurologist saw this in the fall which I have been tryin to tell them that it is not getting better only progressing. I was on anti- inflammatory meds. which kept the swelling down but had to change meds as they weren't helping.
Avatar n tn Now unable to put full weight on Lt leg.No swelling behind knee/light swelling above front of knee cap.Pain when bending knee /more pain when bending with Lt toes pointed toward the outside.The snap seemed to come from behind and to the left end of the joint.Soreness/tightness remain. What could be happening?
Avatar n tn However I still have severe swelling by the end of the day and I have a bulge on the lower outside of the knee that is always there (much more pronounced by the end of the day). It is also very stiff if I extend the leg fully or bend it back completely. The doctor mentioned arthritus however does that just happen overnight and should I be getting a MRI done?
Avatar f tn you feel pain at the side and in center of knee, the swelling increases day by day, limit your tendency to bend the knee, you may feel sharp pain while bending your knee and walking. The pain come and go anytime and anywhere. 3. Extreme tears: the pain moves in joint space, you must feel you are unable to straighten your knee and pain get worst. your knee become frail, swell and stiff. The pain lasts for a long time. If you have any of these symptoms, contact to a Orthopedist.
Avatar n tn no an anal fissure will not cause your symptoms of knee pain and swelling and it's not likely to be the cause of your other pains either.
