How To Treat Knee Swelling?
Hi, I am a 20 year old female. I stand for long periods of time at my job, my left knee has swollen up and is painful to put weight on to and has started to lock while my foot is on the clutch while driving. What is the problem and a possible solution?

Hello,
I have studied your case. I think it is due to continuous weight at the knee which is causing problems. I have the following suggestions.
1. Avoid sitting on the floor or using too many stairs.
2. Avoid standing for long hours. Give 5-minute break in between.
3. Use soft footwear.
4. Hot water fomentation is also helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
