swollen

Avatar f tn Hello all- After many, many acupuncture treatments, last week I had a treatment for knee arthritis in which I felt excruciating pain with a needle insertion below my knee and my foot kicked up simultaneously. Four days later, I have increasing burning and electricity pains radiating down the front of my shin along the tops of my feet. It also feels as though someone were cutting into my ankle or a very, very bad ankle sprain.
Avatar n tn the most I can bend is like 90 degrees, after that, I feel a bad pull in my quadriceps muscles. My quadriceps muscles have swollen just above my knee cap. There is no color or pain. 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 m tn You will need a thorough check up and investigations like X-ray knee joint and ankle joint. Treatment will depend on the specific cause. Do keep us posted. Take care and regards!
Avatar n tn Have you seen a doctor? What was the diagnosis? What tests have you had? Do you have a fever? 'm sorry you're in pain; it sounds bad, but it's not specific enough for anybody here to help you. Assuming this did not come up overnight, you need a physical exam with a primary care physician to get you on the right track for diagnosis and treatment.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I was told by the doc it had nothing to do with sexual encounter and to forget about it so I did. Last night my left knee out of no where became very swollen, as the night progressed the it became became very stiff and something I could no longer ignore. It is still very swollen, It is not red nor hot to the touch and only slightly painful at the moment. I am worried that this maybe gonococcal arthritis and that my epsiode of tendonitis was actually bacterial phase of dgi.
Avatar m tn I am now 5 weeks post treatment and the pain has subsided some but my knee remains swollen and stiff. I will have a steroid injection on the 23rd to try and knock that swelling down. Yes, it is very common for joint pain or old injury aggravation. Many come here with the same issues...some resolve and some do not. Just know that it is very common and hopefully you get better when TX is over.
Avatar m tn Hi, I was hoping you could assist with the following problem, Following a fall in football, landing on the right side of my left knee, I experienced immense pain and heat across the knee. Immediately after bruising spread up and down my leg and a fluid filled sac developed on the top right side of my knee cap. I visited the doctor and initial was assessed by the two nurses who said they didn't know what it was and asked me to come back to see the doctor.
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 f tn My husband has the same problem and I always wrap his with an ace bandage when it gives him trouble and he also has a knee brace he wears when it hurts him or becomes swollen. He will not go to the Dr and I keep it pretty much down from swelling with the brace and ace bandage and he takes Advil for swelling and pain. He does not have pain all the time like you.
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?
957414 tn?1246670050 I went down right away and felt pain in my left knee. Both sides of my knee were a little bit swollen, and I could not bend my knee all the way back. In addition, if I put pressure on the sides of my knee, it hurts and this was after swelling went down. I was able to bear my full weight on my injuried leg without pain at all. I have since then put on a brace to limit my knee movement with icing and elevation.
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks or so ago I got up outta my chair to go upstairs and thought i was just sitting wrong because it hurt a little going up the stairs, but coming down the stairs it felt like the inside of my knee was just on fire and immediately swollen. i ended up dropping everything and almost falling down the stairs, being a mother with very limited transportation i just loaded up on tylenol and rode it out hoping i just pulled something...
Avatar n tn 6-8 weeks postpartum, I developed severe swelling in first my left knee, and then a few months later my right knee. The swelling was at one point so bad that I could not bend my knees and I had to attend PT to regain some range of motion. After several months it was discovered my TSH was 29. My dosage was increased and now I am on 100 mcg of Synthroid--and my knees have since improved. (I have also had carpal tunnel symptoms off and on, but less severe since my meds have been adjusted).
358594 tn?1211255129 Reconstruction of the ACL is recommended,if instability continues even after leg strength and knee motion has returned. In serious knee injury, do not attempt to move the joint. A splint should be used to keep the knee straight .Take complete rest as your right ankle is injured and do not put weight on your injured knee. Best .
Avatar f tn Not sure why you picked cancer as the only other alternative, as there are myriad mostly minor issues that could cause a swollen lymph node and knee pain. The fact that antibiotics have reduced your lymph node swelling points to a bacterial infection for that problem. Knee pain? See an orthopedic doctor.
202827 tn?1238010689 The area right above her knee is unnaturally swollen and she has a lot of pain for the past 3 months. What could this be due to and what treatment should she take. Thanks.
Avatar f tn MRI says- severe bone bruising and bleeding, micro fractures of tibia, 2 complex menus all tears-anterior and posterior, grade2-3 cartilage thinning, fluid above knee and in knee behind patella, bathers cyst, ligament strain, some bone growth and early osteoarthritis. What the hell do I do- I am thinking lose weight, swim, take chondritin, glucosamine, vitamin c, see a knee surgeon... what I DONt want is a knee replacement. It is a bit stiff, swollen and aches.
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 n tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. Meniscal tear is repaired by two methods meniscectomy or meniscal repair. In most cases of meniscectomy, there are chances of development of arthritis, this is due to grinding of the bones against each other causing wear and tear. This can also happen due recurrent damage to the meniscus. Is there any swelling, warmth or fever? I would suggest that you get a x-ray of the knee done to see what is it is. Depending upon the cause treatment varies.
Avatar m tn The wrap was one of those you just pull over the knee, not an actual length of cloth wrapped around the knee and at first I thought it was just the right fit, being a little tight. I wore the wrap for three days, while removing it once in a while to apply some more Hotemin and for showers. I kept it on that long out of fear that if it wasn't present, my knee might wobble too much and I'd injure myself again.
Avatar m tn 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?
1744364 tn?1311780484 Right before Thanksgiving 2010 I received another cortisone shot in my left knee and one in my right knee. Fast forward to May 2011. I went to see a doctor that works at the same clinic I work at. I got two shots in each knee during separate appointments. He also ordered an MRI of my right knee and wouldn't order an MRI of my left knee even though I asked. The results of that MRI showed a possible 50% ACL tear along with "water on the knee.
