Having Knee Pain. No Swelling. Cause?
60 yrs/ male/ non smoker/ Knee pain
I am not having problems with my bones, rather with my tendons and ligaments associated with my right knee.
Lifting, lowering, or movement after a period of being idle results in dull, long (length-wise) discomfort. No swelling has ever been visible and this pain has been lasting for over 16 months.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have described are likely to be related to osteoarthritis. This is an age related degenerative disease of the knee joints. You need proper medical treatment under the guidance of an orthopedician.
