Does Pulled Tendon Cause Swelling And Redness In Knee And Fever?
I have had swelling and redness on my left knee for 3 days now, I have also been running a fever of about 100- 101. I have had 2x-rays by ER and orthopedic surgeon both were negative. I was told to rest for 1 week and see how it feels. Diagnosis was pulled tendon. Is this pretty accurate and should I wait and see after a week.

Hello,
You might have developed slight inflammation over the tendon something called as tendinitis.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. A short course of antibiotics can also be considered.
If symptoms persist an MRI scan is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
