Early degenerative changes in knee joint
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
You must have been having post traumatic knee joint hemarthrosis which subsequently healed. The knee joint consists of bones, igaments and menisci. You have the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, menisci in between the surfaces of bones at the knee joint. The joints also have a joint capsule and synovium (joint lining membrane).
Any of the above mentioned structure might have been damaged but not as much to cause you limitations in walking and doing regular movements at your knee joint. With age, there might have been early development of degenerative changes and this is can cause erosions in the surface of the bones at the knee joint.
You must consult and orthopedician and get X XXXXXXX of the knee joint done. They will also do some clinical tests to see if your ligaments are alright.
Get well soon
Hope i have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care
Dr.Indu XXXXXXX

MD I got hit in the thigh really hard 4 days ago that caused swelling and a very large bruise. I am now experiencing a warm tingling and some pain in my knee just below it. Should I worry about a DVT. I don t have any swelling or redness in the rest of my leg and the pain in my knee feels superficial not deep. Could it just be a sensation caused by the pooled blood?
