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 Are there lymph nodes on the back of the leg, behind the knee, where the leg creases? I'm asking, because it feels a little swollen on my left leg, but I can't really tell if it's swollen or if it's just like that when i stretch my leg out.
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 I dislocated my left knee five weeks ago I saw my physio yesterday (Thursday) and he advised me to start using my leg more and trying to bend.
Avatar f tn 4 days post-op - been doing walking, exercises 2x/day, using ice machine a lot, keeping leg up or straight most of time, but now have red, angry looking, black/blue, somewhat warmer to touch coloring on upper leg and knee. Only pain is from the swelling when I put leg down to stand up. Is this normal? How long for leg to be less swollen?
Avatar f tn I had an ultrasound for leg pain to rule out dvt and when she pushed under my knee and a place in my thigh and calf I had a stinging sensation and my foot began to go numb. Also, when she pushed on my left groin it caused terrible pain which im still feeling the effects of a day later, along with nausea. What would cause this since im negative for dvt? Could my lymph nodes be causing that? A nerve?
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 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 When I stand on the leg, it seems to swell slightly and the veins stands out and swells, particularly below the knee on the front inside of the calve and once I take the pressure off the leg and relax it the vein swelling subsides. The leg at the knee is still quite stiff and the pain has subsided only slightly. I am worried that the symptoms are not a strained muscle and thus am making this enquiry. - Male 50 years old and in very healthy condition. Many thanks.
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 From my knee down to my foot it's swollen and my foot kinda hurts I'm on medication for currently having high blood pressure Advice
Avatar m tn You have either injured the knee cap or some tendons. Raise the leg, apply ice, avoid bearing weight on the leg and take an anti inflammatory for a day or two. If it does not help, you will need to consult a doctor. Take care!

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 n tn I hope you are talking about his knee or close to the knee. If it is the knee, a meniscus or cruciate tear can produce the problem you are discussing. If this is totally unrelated to the knee joint, than this may be serious, since crackling in a muscle could mean gangrene or a similar condition, such as a clostridium infection. Whatever the cause it is painful and should be addressed ASAP by a veterinarian.
Avatar n tn When mine torn and it was the right also before the surgery my knee would snap back, wabbaly alittle swollen, but get a second opinion, if it is your acl you could have torn it or completey ripped it in half.
Avatar m tn all seems okk except its still little swollen and feels little different and the leg feels as if it doesnt have enough power. I can run slowly, bike, clim stairs with no problems except its uncomfortable. My physio thinks this is fine and i need to strengthen my muscle and i didnt have any tear or anything. 2 days ago, i decided to kick a punching bag, with my right leg, when i kick, its all good. I was kicking with my left leg and the same problem happened again but not that much.
Avatar n tn my right calf is swollen and gets worse the more i walk, also have a painful knee
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn extremely swollen right leg especially around knee joint - could not even bend knee, terrible hip pain and two days later a tooth abscess. What are the chances I can tolerate Boniva once a month? My Endocrinologist wants me to try it.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn The swelling is not sitting directly on the knee, but rather higher up the leg than the knee. I think that oil may be coming out of the knee, and spreading into surrounding tissues and muscles. The swollen area is not black. My left foot noticeably is colder than my right one, and I think that the swelling is blocking some circulation. What should I do to help myself heal?
