What Causes Swollen Knee And Ankle?

very active 55 year old male (in excellent physical condition) who works out regularly with a trainer and has developed a very painful (inside of my right knee) and swollen knee. This occurred two weeks ago and has not subsided. Two days ago calf started to hurt and now right ankle has been swollen for two days. Strange part is no bruising (I typically bruise easily).

Sir you should check your CRP and ESR, also check Rheumatic Factor and anti-CCP, check levels of uric acid ! Joint effusion can be caused by a lot of rheumatic diseases but to put the diagnose we need to check your blood signs !
