Suggest Remedy For Red, Painful And Swollen Knee And Calf Post Strenuous Work

My boyfriend, 50 Year old, has been building a deck and has been down on his knees a great amount if time. Thursday his right knee started hurting a little (thinks he kneeled on something). W went hunting mushrooms that evening and when we got home his knee was red, swolen and warm with pain. Yesterday the red ontne knee cap migrated down his calf and his calf is swollen. Today it is worse. Can t get him to go to doctor. Any suggestions as to what it is and how to treat it? I have been serching the internet but there are too many possibilites. Thank you, Christy I am really worried about him.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much.I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic. In the first meeting, I advise my patients to go on Diclofenac 1 tablet twice a day for 2 days,apply iodine or betadine,do massage with Diclofenac gel, take Cartigen plus 1 tablet daily for 3 months.

I suggest him to consult an orthopedist and get X-ray of knee.
