Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain
My left knee hurts and continues to swell. I m told I have mild arthritis and received exercises from physical therapy. However after these exercises my knee swells even more, and it makes it hard to walk. I started a walking plan and after the first few days I could hardly walk. My left leg has always been larger, the skin is tight and I have varicose veins.

Hello,
It may be due to osteoarthritis.
For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedician consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Use knee cap.
Avoid squatting position.
Continue physical therapy
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
