swollen knee with fluid

other than draining the fluid wth needle, what can I do to afford fluid from building on knee after I run This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Swollen-Knee/show/1828287">Swollen Knee</a>.

My question is (my PT guy could not answer) why do I still have fluid on the top of my knee (left side) if the holes are at the bottom sides of the knee cap. The fluid build up keeps me from bending my knee completely & the PT says its because there is still fluid, but he wants to send me back to my ortho/surgeon due to the fact that the fluid build up should not be there. My whole knee IS NOT swollen, just that lump where the fluid is.

Excuse me if this is not an appropriate place to post this question. I run. Both my calves are very tight but don't ever hurt. My right leg under the knee is swollen and leaves an imprint if I indent it with my thumb. Running injury? Vascular problem? Don't worry about it?

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.

My Brusa sack on top of the knee cap is swollen again for me. However its swollen more towards the left of the knee rather then the center. About 3 years ago My bursa swelled up due to constant friction of the knee rubbing againts a wrestling gym mat. It was swollen and very irritable/stinging to the touch. The bursa eventually popped and I had to get my knee drained. Right now the Bursa just seems to be swollen.

Since starting classes again I have been having a lot of trouble with my knee. There is heat coming from it. It gets swollen, and red by the end of the day. At first it didn't hurt at all, it was just swollen. However; the last few weeks it has started to hurt, and I've gotten lightheaded a few times. Also there is this popping sound that happens if I rest it for awhile, then try to get up. My knee also itches to every now and then.

3 weeks ago I hyperextended my left knee. It hurt immediately with a pop, but soon felt better. 3 days later I could barely walk and it hurt to do anything but lay on my right side in a fetal position. A small amout of blood pooled in my ankle while the back of my knee became swollen. I did a week of rest, ice and elevation and saw a tad bit of improvement. (All the while waiting for my Primary appt.) Today I have a 4 inch knot in my calf muscle, about half way down the back of my leg.

Hi all, I am a 20 year old student who really likes weightlifting. My biggest obstacle is my left knee, which was quite heavily injured 5 years ago while I was playing basketball. It was treated by a surgery followed by physical therapy. However, my left leg has been noticably weaker than my right leg ever since. One of the reasons I started weightlifting was so I could try to fix these imbalances.

I have had both knees replaced several years ago In March I fell on a tiled floor striking my left knee which became swollen and painfu At the ER was told i had a bad contusion My knee is still swollen and tender with a burning The ortho dr can't seen to find what's wrong but the workman comp dr suggest i may have fluid pressing on a nerve...........

Hi, Water on the knee is a generic term used to describe knee swelling which occurs when excess fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint. There are many common causes for the swelling, including arthritis, injury to the ligaments or meniscus, or when fluid collects in the bursa. This condition is known as prepatellar bursitis. The type of fluid that accumulates around the knee depends on the underlying disease, condition or type of traumatic injury that caused the excess fluid.

Since then, I have had difficulty bearing weight on that (right) knee and cannot fully flex or contract that joint at all. I was feeling a swollen feeling behind my knee which seemed to not allow me to do this. Now, I am noticing that my calf muscle is swollen and painful, reaching around medially and to the anterior of my shin. Is it possible fluid developed from the "bump" I experience and is now an infection?

I had this procedure done and I am using the cpm and walking as required I am already at 70 degrees on day three but the knee is swollen and I was able to lift my leg on my on for the first few days but now my thigh is swollen and I can’t lift it at all without help. My knee was very damaged and I had many surgeries prior to total knee replacement had Donated bone placed in the knee many years before this procedure.

She also had cervical discharge, and physical examination by her doctor revealed purulent? synovial? fluid? ( I dont know what this is?) from knee. What is wrong with her? please help she is very depressed. She also denied to take HIV test which was offered by the doctor. Thank you.

I feel like this almost every morning but my hands and fingers are usually swollen. I wake up all night with numbness down both arms and hands.

But then up and pain subsided. Possibly knee cap moved back in place. Now then in morning knee lil swollen, pain when walking, no bending or squatting which would lead my proffessional opinion to be you over streched tendons, possibly a slight tear. Use an ice pack for 2 days twice a day 30 mins each. No more weights till Friday. If everything returns to normal leave the squats out for an additional week. However by this Friday if knee is still the same, go see family doctor.

s cyst is caused when excess joint fluid is pushed into one of the small sacs of tissue behind the knee. When this sac fills with fluid and bulges out, it is called a cyst. The excess fluid is usually caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis that irritate the knee. It may also be caused by an injury. symptoms? Often a Baker's cyst causes no pain. When symptoms occur, they may include: Tightness or stiffness behind the knee.

knee, neck, parotid, armpits, groin). But except of the back of my left knee there are no swellings, at least I can't see nor feel. Frank, how do you feel now? Still have these sensations? Please let me know if you find out what might cause this pain. Thanks.

Mine do go down at night. She is checking my fluid levels next blood work. So with that in mind It may be another problem such as arthritis etc. I have a bad left knee so most of that is caused by it!

Hi, is he still on the Bactrim? If he has finished the Bactrim and is having swelling, I would get him checked out. I guess if it was me, to be on the safe side, I would go back to the doctor either way.

I felt like pins coming out of my leg the first days then my knee was swollen pretty bad. 1 month later i can walk with 1 crutch and not feel as much pain as before but its still numb. I had an mri done and read this on the report 1. Abnormal signal lateral to right psoas muscle and medial to right iliacus muscle suggestive of fluid. Atrophy of both muscles. Cannot exclude inflammatory process at junction between these two muscles in right hemipelvis. 2.

Has anyone developed or had fluid in joints with psoratic arthritis? I have had m knee drained twice, about two cupsof fluid..

When a joint is affected by arthritis especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA), increased abnormal amounts of fluid can build up. usually the knee will appear swollen but this depends on the amount of fluid in your knee. The fluid is produced by the inflamed tissues that are affected by the arthritis and that line the joint. Usually a physician can drain off the fluid and your pain will improve. You may have had a "minor" meniscus tear at one point but now you have a major one....

I have a mild disability and walk with my left knee slightly bent, as a result my kneecap has ridden up slightly and is slightly inwards. I have had pains in it since I was young that tend to come and go, but at the moment it is bothering me more so than usual. It hurts just underneath my kneecap slightly to the left, also swollen, and a little in the kneecap itself. The thing is, the pain isn't constant and doesn't always prevent me from doing things.

they appear afternoon to evening lasting through the night.they are associated wth joint severely in the finger,wrist and legs.anyone with similar symptons please response. benadryl works but not for long.
