Swollen knee with fever
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen knee with fever
swollen
Ok so I hadnt done anything to it and one morning I woke up with my knee hurting BAD to put pressure on it the next day woke up with it swelling. Now a week later it's still swollen and has gotten worse over time I've been lifting it above my heart.... Not helping. And no I haven been to a doctor because I have warrants for my arrest. The reason I posted here is because I am also an addict that shoots ice and subutex and everything else.... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
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.
The knee became swollen and tender to the touch. He spiked a slight fever on the third day. X-rays are normal. But his CBC came back and the hospital said his normal blood count should be 14 and it is 14.8. This is the 3rd time in 8 months his count is elevated, and the first time it was double the normal amount. The blood test was taken 6 days after the intial symptoms so not sure how high it actually got. No answers as to the cause.
After 12 week test negative i felt relived but after 5 months i noticed there is a lymph node swollen back of my left knee, and sometimes it hurts when i stand for long time, i also noticed a white spot on my tongue.
I want to ask you guys if i can rely on the Genie II Hiv 1/2 test and can i conclude that i am negative? Should i be worried about the swollen lymph nodes and the white spot? are these related to HIV?
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.
From my knee down is swollen and red and painful. I went in to see my surgeon yesterday and he sent me directly to get an ultra sound which was negative for blood clots. I was more active on the day it starting swelling but my doc said to keep walking on it. My question is if this is normal with this surgery or have I over done it ? Should I wear a ace bandage or brace when walking ? (the bandage sure does make it feel better)...
All above is still happening however, I am now having swollen legs and feet, like very swollen, hard to touch, swollen hands. Severe pain in my lower left abdoninem, and aches and pains in my joints (knee, ankle, wrist, elbow) as well as upset tummy. If anyone knows what this could mean please write a post to me. I am going to the clinic tomorrow! Unless it gets even worse and I find a ride to the ER tonight!
Sounds like he has crepitus (air under the skin). Sometimes it's caused by an infection. With the swelling and fever he should be seen by a vet soon. The doctor can determine what's causing the problem (perhaps a bite or puncture?) and treat it properly.
I wish you and your daughter the best. I just returned from a ped visit for my 4 year old daughter and the doctor referred us to a rheumetologist with suspicion of either JRA or viral arthritis. She has a bruised and swollen ankle, swollen opposite knee and a swollen elbow. She's in day 10 of a viral illness that presented with fever, sore throat, congestion, headache, skin rash. Doc didn't think it was 5th disease, chicken pox or scarlet fever.
Over the past year I have gotten recurring pain in my left shoulder, a swollen left wrist ( a couple times), groin pain, and most recently a swollen left ankle, and a swollen left knee. With all of these the pain subsides over a couple days and I feel normal for a couple weeks. Right now the left knee is still a bit swollen but does not hurt anymore, my left shoulder pain has come back, and my middle and ring fingers in my left hand have pain where they meet the hand.
So, try to be patient for a couple of days, HOWEVER, if you continue to notice a decline in your mobility or increase in pain levels, especially if you start running a fever or your knee is red, swollen and warm - IMMEDIATELY get in touch wtih your doctor or head to the ER. Any time you puncture the skin, there is chance of infection.
I hope you feel better soon!
So than why do I have these 2 bumps/swollen nodes if im perfectly fine in health wasn't sick and no fever. Never had bumls around my neck before I believe so why now?
Except for pain on my left knee when walking or standing with my weight on my left knee, I feel fine. I also have about 6 small red dots on my butt area but no rashes on my torso, face or arms.
So now, after that, I guess my questions are:
1.Are the symptoms that I experienced indicative of ARS? (Fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes) Or could they have also been caused by the other conditions that I was experiencing (tonsillitis, toothache, post coital lacerations)
2.
I have minimal swelling above the knee cap but no redness, warmth or presence of a fever. The pain is worse when I am sitting, climbing or coming down stairs, and extending the knee from 90 to 180 degrees. I have major weakness in the joint when standing (almost feels like it's going to "give out" if that makes sense). In the past 3 weeks it has started "popping" when I attempt to extend it. It cracks and makes funny grinding noises.
Fever is not necessarily co-incident with many low-grade infections. So infection is unlikely, but not ruled out.
Culture of the fluid extracted would be a good first step.
An x-ray is a good idea, but an MRI of the knee is better. I would also ask for an MRI of the foot.
And I would not necessarily head for the conclusion that a total knee replacement is necessary.
I am concerned about the constellation of symptoms, particuliarly the pain in the ankles and forefoot.
My daughter is 13 yrs old, she also has been having neck pain (around C-7) & knee pain. We have seen our family physician & the ER doctor. I was told her one pain has to do with her growth plates growing too fast. THANKFULLY her knee pain had improved but she has been having a lot of pain in her neck. I took her to the ER, they ordered X-rays & they were "normal". She's in a lot of pain & I'm so tired of not getting answers!!! Does anyone have any suggestions?
leg and knee pain (blood test indicates swollen glands), mild fever, numbness in hand fingers, itchy feeling in back of foot, random itchiness in random points of her body, night sweat.
I read a lot about STDs and the symptoms match with HIV and herpes. I am freaked out and wish I died before that day. At least she will find another faithful partner. The sense of guilt is killing me. I gave her and STD when all she gave me is pure love. Plz help me. Tell me it is not HIV.
I have pain in my both knees. Mostly, only after doing exercise it got swollen and pain started. I have done some particular exercise but no use. But, I got permanent swelling from last 3 weeks and pain also. Pain is in my lower and upper part of knee. I tried cooling and hot cycle belt of wrap but still pain exists. This all started from nov 07. I never had injury with my knees. Completed my blood test and routine check up in January 08 but everything is normal.
do my symptoms sound anything like a primary infection? Ive read that primary infections are followed by bad sore throat, fever and very swollen lymph nodes. I had none of those. maybe slightly swollen lymph nodes but that's it. I have had a herpes select test about 7 months ago and it came back negative for HSV 1 & 2. I also had a lot of yellow green drainage that i would spit out after clearing my throat.
