What Causes Swelling And Pain In Left Knee?
I am having left knee pain. It is a little swollen and very hot to the touch. It is very difficult to bend, most of the pain is just in my knee cap area. I have been taking anti-inflamitories for a few days and it is not getting better. Ice and ribs do not help. Should I be seen

Warm to touch at knee area this is typical sign of knee bursitis.
Stifness of knee joint area may occur.
In knee bursitis inflammation around knee area is present.
Antiinflamatory is helpful.
Do one knee x ray also for further diagnosis.
Wish you a good health.
