556621 tn?1284217913 It is obviously a tissue swelling that causes this, but what is causing the tissue to swell? Is it a form of Bursitis, perhaps, or are there other issues that have these common symptoms. It stays for a few day/weeks then subsides, then returns. Should I take her in for an MRI or try some at home remedies/recovery habits to curb it?

Avatar m tn Moreover, yesterday my doctor injected depo-medrol on my infected joint. And today my knee is extremely swollen and stiff, more than ever. I can barely bend my knee to 90 degree. My question, Is this swelling and stiffness normal after being injected with depo-medrol ? Or is this a side-effect ?
Avatar n tn Wow..I know I'm 2 years late with my comment but I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee. I'm 42 years old for god sake! I've been taking Prevacid for 5 years and my Doctor dismissed the "rumors" as well. I come from a family of fat and skinny but almost 100% healthy members. My Mom didn't start menopause until she was 50 so I know that can't be the problem. I keep thinking; "why are my bones doing this?
Avatar m tn I know the risk of catching HIV is very low or not existing. Still I think I have quite some symptoms. Now 3 month window period has passed. I still have swollen inner thigh lymph nodes with burning sensation inner thighs. Knee joints feel have imfamed tendons or could be also lymph nodes. Elbows the same. 4 weeks after the sex, I got severe muscle and joint pain. Burning sensation came 2 weeks later. I had the sore throat almost from day 1 and white tongue as well. I had no fever or rash.
Avatar n tn There is a distinction between pitted and non-pitting edema (fluid leaks into tissues. Pitted edema is caused by either systemic diseases, that is, diseases that affect the various organ systems of the body, or by local conditions involving just the affected extremities. The most common systemic disorder is associated with edema involve the heart, liver, and kidneys. In these diseases, edema occurs primarily because of the body's retention of too much salt (sodium chloride).
Avatar n tn After 8 weeks I noticed that my left back knee is swollen. I also felt a burning sensation in back knee. A few days later my whole knee started to pain, specially when I took long walks. Although the swelling was just in the left knee, I felt this pain in both legs. I had knee problems before, but that was caused by long runs and occured in the outer side of the patella. The pain disappeared after 2 weeks, but 1 week later it all started again.
Avatar m tn Yes, they can be. It's always wise to consult a physician to rule out all the possible physiological causes before deciding you have a mental disorder. There's even a class of psychiatrist that decided that, hey, we're doctors, and started doing all kinds of tests to rule out physiological problems. They call themselves functional physicians, and estimate that 10-15% at least of all supposed mental disorders are physiological in nature.
Avatar m tn I have a constant burning sensation and soreness around my right knee particularly where the thigh muscle joins the leg. There is also a constant soreness on the bottom edge of my knee, just above the tibia. It has been like this for over a week following a run and has not improved significantly in that time. It is somewhat uncomfortable, but not painful to bend my leg. If is painful to flex my leg muscle, which I notice more when extending my leg. The pain level is bearable.
Avatar f tn What if arthritis doesn't run in the family? Can the cause of your joint, knee, feet and bone pain plus the chills, sweats and fatigue be caused by Arthritis?
Avatar n tn I feel that you should consult a surgeon and take a second opinion from him.Also get the possibility of infection and fracture/ligament tear ruled out by means of x-ray knee. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn I have moderate knee pain most of the time, especially when I sit. The knee is swollen and looks as if it has a lot of fluid in it. My orthopedic surgeon has said that I will definetly have to have a total knee replacement but the time to do it is up to me. I am 67 years old and don't know if it would be better to do it before I get older. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn What can I do while I am waiting for Dr. Appts... I went to my medical dr who sent me for an x-ray. Nothing is fractured in my knee, and she wants me to see an orthopedic doctor, for further evaluation and possible MRI. I am going to call tomorrow for an appointment. The only problem, tomorrow is Friday and I am in PAIN!! The only releif I get in applying ice. There was no recent trama to my knee.
Avatar n tn t get out of bed for about six months. During this time, my knee joints became swollen, painful and stiff, with some loss of muscle mass around the knees and in the legs. (I was severly depressed!) Is it posssible that being bedridden for so long caused this problem in the knees, or is this condtion arthritis? Have you seen joint swelling and pain in some bedridden patients? I'm very curious and i'm in a lot of pain.
Avatar f tn Hello, Being overweight is one of the causes of swollen leg and foot. Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to decrease your weight. Standing for a long time can also lead to these symptoms. Was there any insect bite or sting on your left leg? Try taking OTC antihistaminic like benadryl and see if it helps. Sometimes venous insufficiency (when the veins in your legs are unable to adequately pump blood back to the heart) can also lead to swollen leg/feet.
Avatar m tn I had torn my quad tendon about 6 years ago and it seems to have the same symptoms except its hard in the areas of pain instead of feeling nothing there, it is also very sensitive to normal touch, plus i can bear weight on it, but is very sore to do

Avatar f tn The area has some pinkness over the surface of swelling, still with extreme fatigue, bilat. hip and knee pain, loss of appetite, an occasional degree of fever but nothing over 100f. The FNP decided to try a round of abx...amoxil...to see if it helps?! I dont feel any peace to be honest but I guess for now its all I can do. An abdo. US wouldve been great, further blood work....something! Anywho, thanks for the concern. Keep us in your thoughts.
Avatar n tn I have pain behind my knee and my leg is swollen in the calf. I was checked for blood clot and it was negative. I feel heat coming out of my knee when I place an ice pack on it. It warms the ice pack quickly. My thigh is swollen too, but all the pain is in my knee. It hurts to touch the bones in my knee. My ankles are a little swollen and also the calf on the other leg. I have had a meniscus tear and arthritis in one knee and baker's cyst in the other.
Avatar n tn Hi there, The exact location of your knee pain can help your doctor determine the nature and severity of your injury. A deformed and swollen knee may indicate a fracture or internal ligament tear. See an orthopaedician.He will examine you and determine if X-rays are needed or not. Take some over the counter analgesic. That may help. Do write to me again with more details.
Avatar m tn Now pain located vicinity of lateral collateral ligament and behind knee. Sharp pain behind knee upon straightening/standing. Also pain behind knee hen bending (I.e. Getting in an out of car, drivers side). Flexing foot to put shoe on cause sharpe pain around lateral collateral ligament. Knee slightly swollen an somewhat warm. Any ideas.
Avatar f tn By the weekend of March 10th it was in right ankle and shin bone-then right knee. Joints and muscles remain weakened and mildly achy even after the sharp pain subsides. Started taking an OTC cold/flu medicine but half dose to take the edge off pain, it doesn’t seem to last long but does help the sleep a bit. March 12th, overslept and awoke feeling markedly better than previous mornings but the symptoms returned by lunchtime, getting worse as day went on.
