Avatar n tn Today I CANNOT put weight on it and it is swollen. The pain originates on the inside of my knee, not in the soft spot next to the patella, but outside that. At this pt. the pain has spread all over my knee, but to touch it is super tender in that inside spot. I have iced it and put heat on it. Not sure what to do at this pt. My foot on the side of the injured knee feels asleep. Can someone give me advice. Should I see a doctor? Or can this be dealt with at home?
Avatar f tn then just today we got back and realized my knee is a bit swollen..not alot but to make it uncomfortable and uneasy to walk..i am healthy and had not had any injuries prior to the trip..and iv never experienced this on any other trips..
Avatar m tn Hello. I fell on my left knee about a month ago. The first week, it was painful to walk, but now I have no pain. Only I have a huge swelling above my knee. I can't bent my knee more than 90 degrees because the swelling puts great pressure on my knee and I cannot bend it any more. There is no pain, but the muscles are stiff. The swelling is not sitting directly on the knee, but rather higher up the leg than the knee.
Avatar m tn I fell on a dirt bike 4 days ago. My knee was bruised and swelled up pretty bad but has gone down significantly since then. It's still bruised and kind of swollen so i can't bend it very far yet or put a bunch of pressure on it. I've been putting ice on it and taking pain relievers-the basics-and it has helped but i was just wanting to get an idea on how long the swelling and bruising will last.
Avatar f tn I fell and got really bad rug burn on my knee a few days ago. It is still super swollen, its about a centimetre bigger than a toonie. it is red around the edges, painful to the point i can't wear tight pants and hardly walk because its very swollen. BUT there is no puss so i don't know whether to get it checked by the doctor or maybe its just bruised?
Avatar m tn Also, the calf gets really hard when I walk on the right leg. I still cannot bend my knee as much as I used to and the added calf pains and swelling has me believing I may have made a terrible mistake wearing that wrap for so long. Also, the sides of the injured knee hurt when I touch them. Is there anyone who could advise me on what to do next, please?
Avatar n tn It is just that I feel a bad pull when I bend my knee, its swollen, difficult to walk because of the knee bending problem, there is no pain on the swollen part, but it hurts my quadriceps muscles when I try to bend my knee. Please give me a solution to this problem. I will be more than grateful.
Avatar n tn I'm 38, female. Exactly 2 weeks ago, after jogging, two off-leash dogs playing tag slammed into the front of my R knee, and knocked me over. Swelling and pain started soon after, and got worse over the next few days. Particularly on the center, sides and above my knee. At first I alternated between hobbling around and using crutches, as well as R.I.C.E. but I have become more strict about staying off the bad leg, hoping soon I will be able to walk again.
4390099 tn?1353871579 I am a 42 Y/O man/father that feel 12 years ago through a roof and my screw gun hit me in the spine but did not go in or through my skin because I had a socket on it and not a phillips bit, Dr. said it would have killed me, and also landed on a busted cement block and broke 4 ribs. I have had MRI's and CAT Scans and have shown no broken bones, I did bruse my kidneys and lung which was pretty bad too. Anyway, I was messed up back then and now I think its still haunting me.
245460 tn?1238004496 Hello, I woke up this morning with and extremely painful and swollen knee. I don't remember hurting it in any way. I know it almost looks like there is fluid on it but not sure. Very painful when i walk. Could this be part of Fibro? Any suggestions or answers would be so much help to me.
Avatar f tn I'm 22+ 2. I have this one area on my leg, under my knee and a little closer to the inside, that is super painful to touch. I noticed it last night when I laid down and my other knee bumped it. It looks slightly swollen, but no bruising. I know I didn't hit my leg on anything. Could this be the start of a varicose vein? Should I call the doc? It doesn't hurt to walk or anything just when something touches it.

Avatar f tn Recently while I was on holiday by the seaside, I wake up with my knee all swollen and inflamed. I rested then but as soon I walked a bit again it started to swell. So after the holyday I had an MRI scan and the orthopedics tell me that I have the patella/femoral syndrome and that i need to do exercises to make my quadriceps stronger or maybe surgery.
Avatar f tn Had he been to physical rehab after knee surgery? It could be that his quads muscle have tightened and may need quad stretches. But still go and see an actual PT to have him assessed.

Avatar f tn 51 yo F, diagnosed with Runners Knee, have been in pain, swollen and limping for 7 months. Dr. says to just keep coming back for cortisone, but it really does nothing. I can hardly walk, I am in pain, do I have to live like this? Is my doctor on the right track? Maybe I have meniscus tears??? It affects everything... walking, sleeping, working. Help!! Also, I have had xrays only. Shows no arthritis. In both knees, although one is worse than the other.
Avatar f tn I walk on the treadmill and can jog for a little bit before my knee tightens up, then I just go back to a 3.0 MPH walk. I have dropped my caloric intake to 800 to 1000 calories a day to help compensate but I feel so tired all the time partially due to work, as I really feel I never got back to 100% recovered before returning to work and I'm "getting old". :o) I am a nurse and stand and walk (which doesn't hurt) for 9 hours a day..
Avatar f tn Is there anything I can do to make it unlock? If not what will be the best option. My knee has been hurting and swollen for three days now but I haven't had it lock on me before. I was able to walk around before now.
Avatar m tn Hello! It's been four months now that my right knee is slightly swollen. The swelling is visible on the knee itself and the bottom part of my quadricep. It is not much but it's visible especially when compared with my other knee. I don't feel pain, only minor discomfort which gets a bit worse and spreads to a larger area (the discomfort, not the swelling) when I stand up or sit down for too long.
Avatar f tn This past weekend I was hopping from rock to rock and seem to have injured my knee. It clicks and locks. when that happens it is extremely painful, however when it is not locked there is no pain. In the last few months I have tried to get my fitness level back up to what it once was. I do 45 minutes of aerobic exercise, either stationery bike or treadmill and follow that with some weight training and stretching.
Avatar f tn im 37 weeks pregnant and I can't walk if I do I just fall and it really hurts if I try to walk, what should I do ?
Avatar f tn About 30 minutes later just below my knee started to throb and swell. I now have a lump about 2 inches below my knee cap and it is swollen and extremely painful. It is warm to touch and slightly red and bruised. It is very painful to bend my knee and it hurts to walk. Could I have torn something or broken something? I’m very worried as I am a very busy wedding photographer. Please help. Thanks.
