What Causes Pain In My Right Knee?
Two days back, I felt a stiffening pain around my right knee,as a result of which I could not stamp my right leg in usual posture. Yesterday, I could see a swelling around my right knee. while pressing around the knee. I realized a painful sensation at one point adjoining the knee-ball surrounding the right knee area. I consulted an Ortho surgeon. During the blood test, everything, including uric acid, was found normal. X-ray was normal. Anyhow, he prescribed some medicines for 10 days. What would be the actual cause for such symptoms. Previously, I had similar pain in my left wrist joint for some times. It itself got cured after 1 month. What would be the reasons for this complaint?

Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, you probably are suffering from early arthritis, with flare up of synovial swellings, the best would be to start regular exercises, called the quadriceps building exercises, continue with your medication, and avoid squatting and cross leg sitting. note if the things improve, because if they dont you will need than a repeat consultation.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
