Knee Stiffness, Swollen Calf, Pain
Hi I m a 50 year old male who works all day on concrete and have been having a problem with my left knee being stiff and sore behind the knee cap and the knee and my calf have been swelling for the last week or so. The pains the worst in the morning till I walk around for a few hours. Behind my knee and down the back of my calf are tight and painful when I bend my knee or walk. Chris

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your symptoms are suggestive of osteoarthritic changes in your knee joints. You can relieve the symptoms by taking mild pain killers, doing a hot fomentation, applying a local analgesic gel and taking joint lubricant supplements like Dycerin and Glucosamine.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
