What Could Cause A Pain In The Knee Accompanied With Red Spots?
my wife has occasional swelling in her feet and pain in the bottom of the foot when she walks. She has now developed knee pain and several red spots on her knees. She has been to dr 3 times first they gave pain meds then treated a kidney infection and finally gave her prednisone which cleared everything up. Then about two weeks after script ran out she has these symptoms again. motrin or ibruprofin seem to take away the pain but we are still concerned as to what is causing this

I understand your case. First if you are female patient about or above 40 years, autoimmune diseases should be suspected. Some lab investigationsshould be done like rheumatoid factor, CBC, kidney function test and urine analysis. Autoimmune disorders mostly lead to kidney and joint disorders( systemic generalized disorders).Red spots usually associated with autoimmune disorders.
