Why is My Knee Swollen

Your knee might swell for many reasons. By far the most common reason our knee swells is because of inflammation. The most common cause of inflammation is osteoarthritis. Other potential causes of swelling include: Lyme disease, meniscus tears, cartilage injury, ligament injuries, gout, CPPD, and patella chondromalacia. The key issue when we evaluate you in the office is finding out what is causing the inflammation. This post goes into more detail. www.howardluksmd.com/knee/why...

    I ran 2 miles and not a fast pace or anything and got back home.. it wasn’t until 3 days later I acquired swelling? Idk.. I do know I have osteoarthritis too . I initially was thinking I took off from conditioning and maybe the ligaments shrunk slightly. So when I squat down it feels tight. Well that is because the swelling was higher on my knee. I do not have any pain but what was weird was when I picked up my other knee to get off the bed I felt pain on the outside side part. Now that hurt briefly and absolutely no swelling. Strange as it comes if you ask me. What I can also mention is at 44 yo I had a resting HR of 35 bpm at 223 lbs before and used circuit training combining calisthenics and jump rope skipping workouts directly right after one another. Some day I did thousands of body weight squats going parallel to floor and go back up. Then at the end of workout run 3-9 miles extra!! Lol Any suggestions?

    Very common story. If the swelling persists for a while longer you should consider seeing someone to evaluate you to try and determine what the source of the swelling is. Without much pain there is often no urgency.

When I woke from my knee down it was swollen, could stand on it out pressure touch it or anything. This happened 2 + years ago. My knee is still swollen and I can't bent it still. The hospital doesn't know what's wrong they think is arthritis another doctor said I could do surgery and take the lil piece of my knee but he don't know if it will work. And last time they wanted to stick a needle and drain it. I hate needles.

    Hello Doctor. My name is George and I have a question with a storyline to help you understand about my right knee. Back in 2007, I fell off my motorcycle and didn't break my leg nor knee but i did hyperextened my leg at the knee cap. The knee swelled up pretty fat, I did get x-rays and MRI and it showed nothing broke nor fractured. But again, my knee was really swollen and i couldn't bear Any weight at all for months, like 5 to 6 months. I couldn't even stand on it. It took me a little over a year to actually walk on it and bend the knee back to normal. But i couldn't kick a ball nor Run. Kicking a ball would hurt my kneeo run, it would feel as if i lose my balance. So, I did execrise it and did strengthen the knee that i was back to normal finally. I was able to play everything once again. I was feeling 100% strong Jumping, running, kicking, volleyball, etc...for years i was okay. So, in 2017 I went to SKYZONE a trampoline party and while jumping around, at one point i felt amd heard a pop at my calve muscle and knee. It didn't hurt but slowly my knee swelled up. Same knee from my accident. I couldn't bend the knee normally and ever since that day I've been having problems but was able to bring swelling down and was about 90% better amd could never be at 100% it always felt weak this after that trampoline party. In 2023 of May just recently, My knee was 90% normal and i played volleyball on the beach sand for hours and DAMN!!!! My knee got swollen after the game, after about 15 minutes my knee was freaking swollen and couldn't bend it nor bear weight once again. What could it be that im experiencing Doctor???

    I had a fall down the subway stairs But i got up and no swelling when i reach home i put some ice on it.it happened a year ago. I always wear a knee brace when walking since i have arthritis. While doing some exercise my trainer made me do some exercise and right after i felt a sharp pain.i saw an orthopedist and he gave me an injection in the knee and started some ultra sound therapy using a gel and some kind of treatment. Then one day i felt a sharp pain and almost fell and was unable to walk since i felt my leg give away , i had two people helping me to stand.i could not put any weight on my right leg. Then in march i went to the orthopedict clinic and saw the Dr i usually see. He gave me an injection at the knee but it did not help an had xrays of both knees. He told me i have.a deviation at the knee and ordered a orthosis brace. I started wearing it every day but it became uncomfortable since my knee was swollen then i stop wearing it but sill use the knee support when walking. Lately i have notice the swelling more prominent and am always in pain. I apply ice pack on it for the swelling. I had to travel out of state where i live before the lockdown. .i cannot travel yet to see the orthpedist dr who follows me. I had seen a Dr from cuba who suggested that he draw some 8 tubes of blood from my arm and extract the platelets and injected them inside the knee. But i do not want to do , i have mentioned it to the orthopedist and he told me they do not practice in their facility nor in the state. I am very worried about that I cant travel now since all internationals flights had been cancelled .awaitting to go to NY . In the mean time i would like to know what i should do to alleviate the swelling and the pain Can you give me some advices please

    I passed out several years ago after intense stomach pain and ended up in emergency at our hospital for a few days. I hurt my knee a lot on the way down and it ended up being very badly bruised and swollen. Even though I kept saying to the staff that my knee really hurts, no one would even look at it, so medical help for my knee was not forthcoming. They were more concerned that I was having some kind of heart attack and could not tell me what my stomach pains were. I kept thinking my knee would get better but 4 years later I still have a very sore and swollen knee. I had an MRI recently which shows a meniscus tear and osteo arthritis. I really wish I could find some way to get rid of at least some of the swelling though. The stomach pain turned out to be diverticulitis which I found 2 years later when I got another attack and had a ruptured bowel.

    Hi Dr. I am 55 and a tennis player. I play once or twice a week. I don’t recall hurting my knee, however, I now have pain in the front just below the patella. The knee is swollen quite a bit. It’s been this way for about 3 days. I’ve been applying ice and taking Advil. I have a lot of pain walking or going up & down stairs. When walking it helps if I keep my leg straight for if I bend my knee just slightly it hurts. At night the pain is worse as I toss & turn from the discomfort. Advil does help but still painful especially when I move my leg. Do you have an opinion on what this might be? Thank you

But xrays showed that there was nothing wrong, but i still couldnt walk. 2 years later i was doing ok, but one day i was laying down and i positioned my leg as if i was doing situps and knee hurt a lot and it started swelling and i couldnt walk. Again i went to the doctor and mri and xray showed that theres nothing wrong. Now my other knee is getting swelling too. I dont know what to do

    So my knee has been swollen for going on a year now and it hurts everyday. I've been icing it, trying different stretches, and resting. But literally nothing is working. I'm in the military and I've seen my doctor multiple times but haven't been able to get an Mri or x ray (i know x-rays don't do much for knee but still) I've been experiencing Spazas within my knee, a very sharp pain, its getting hard to walk, drive, exercise or literally any type of movement. Idk if your going to see this but could you give me some sort of information on what you think this is??? I've been holding off on seeing an off base doctor but thats the point I'm at right now. I'm just hesitant to spend 400+ dollars to see them. Any help would be much appreciated. And it was so long ago I don't remember what I did to it :\

    @@HowardLuksMD so, I had an MRI and they can't find anything. In 2009 I had 2 swollen knees after I spent 1,5y on the couch after a complicated shattered ankle. This went on for almost a year, same thing back then, loads of doctor visits, so scans and such and suddenly from one to the next day it got better and stayed away. That was until 2016. Again, exactly same course. Didn't matter what I did, nothing would help and no one could help. Then again, poofff gone. This time I'm again searching for a solution, many visits to many different doctors, specialists, scans everything.... Not a single thing thathas helped except for a very aggressive course of cortisone pills (called medrol where I'm from), but from the omen I stop taking them, it doesn't take much time for it to come back. It's been a year and six months now. Haven't experienced much pain in my knee, only discomfort. Until very recently it started to swell even more and only when standing still in one spot. Almost immediately and after 5-10 min I have to sit down or I am about to get sharp pains and my knee will be huge. I'd in that case I don't massage my lymph nodes this will get slightly better over the course of 3 days. Lymph massage will rather quickly start to show great results, but that doesn't last longer than half a day perhaps. I'm even thinking about going to a dietician eventhough I prefer healthy foods, I don't eat much sugary things, no alcohol, no sodas (max 1 / week)... I do have the impression that when I very rarely ( like one or twice a month right before my period) do eat some chocolate or biscuits then around an hour later it will start to swell even more than it already is.... Any suggestions what I might do next. Or things I definitely should do with my knee when it is pretty swollen ? Can I damage it further(yet scans show absolutely no damage at all)?

    Hi, I need some advice please. My knee has been swollen for 5 weeks now and have I not fully recovered. I have been bed bound 2/3 weeks then I have gone to around the 80% recovery stage but that’s it unfortunately. This is the 7th time my right knee has swollen up but never for so long! I am over 30 and overall healthy but do suffer from psoriasis sadly and yes it’s on my knee but mainly scarring not currently present and active on my knee. I have been Doctors done blood tests and X-Rays they have found nothing no Psoriatic Arthritis no infection nothing and I am simply taking strong pain killers and using the RICE method to my wits end. I have no clue what to do now I am waiting for the Rheumatologist to let me know of my appointment and apart from that I am struggling to work and live a normal life. Today I went to work and guess what? My knee swelling went worse and I hardly put any pressure on the knee, I just tried to walk minimum amounts as I’ve been advised to get the blood flowing around the knee to help with aiding recovery? Please someone help any advice appreciated and God bless. Sorry for the long message :(.

I started having knees issue and swelling on and off for quite some time now for years and still wondering why I get it and what's causing my discomfort, swelling, pain, tightness, tingles and heat. Just very painful. I can't bend my knees most my right side. Can't walk at times and straighten and stand long on them bcs it hurts its uncomfortable. I usually walk a lot just constantly being on my feet errands, and etc. I started getting tight muscles/joints all over my body, hands, elbow, back, neck, legs feet, and knees. I thought I might of have arthritis or something at my early 20's- 30's bcs of the research I done. But my most discomfort and sever pain is my knees. I read I might have Rheumatoid Arthritis and or a tear of some sort and fibromyalgia bcs I have all the symptoms. Is still unknown to me of what I might have and I'm concerned, I will be getting checked hopefully sometime soon to get some sort a diagnosis. Your information has been very helpful so informative..thank you.

    For the last 2 months my right knee has been in pain. It started with a baker's cyst which was pretty large and was on the side of my right knee and was extremely painful. Once I got it drained, I thought okay I'm going to let this heal. But unfortunately it's been a month since then and my right knee area still has swelling and still semi limping around when I walk anywhere. Also a lot of popping noises. My right knee does not Bend all the way forward and I cannot bend it all the way back, only halfway. So running is out of the question right now. Even just walking a block around, my knee swells up and gets painful. I don't know what to do, don't know what the issue could be, I'm going to my orthopedic doctor next week for a follow-up. It's constantly lumpy looking around my right knee cap area and it doesn't seem to be getting any better, I wake up in unless I take Ibuprofen it still gets painful. I don't know what is wrong, could it be a meniscus tear?

    Just going to say it the less inflammation... The better ? Try reducing meat intake or saturated fats

    Try increasing meat intake and reducing sugar and carbs. Decreasing meat does nothing.

    Make a appointment with a good physio, this might cause you money but it good, I am paying 400 rupee for my treatment everyday. I have been recalled by my physiotherapist multipal times in a week,like 3 days a week excercises is very helpful moreover you should seen a doctor or physio who is been looking for your pocket to hijack. It is really hard to find a good therepist. I am only 24 and I have got certain injuries in my knee due to football such as both of my meniscus has mutlipal tears, latreral meniscus is Attenuated and my cartilage is damage from the articular cartialge as well as from the down side, so I have been seeing a physio. It is helping and also I take my diet very seriously nowadays. Take rest,let the body heal.
