I have had fluid in the back of my knee I have had physical therapy at one time but I no longer have insurance so now it s been 7 years later and my knee is still swollen difficult bending and getting back up and times it feels like cold water running down the inside of my leg. What happens to the inside of my knee if fluid sits in it for that long everytime I go to the emergency room for pain all they do is give me ibuprofen no referrals to a specialist.its not getting any better at all I can t lay down with out pain or locking up

General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. This can be most likely chronic synovitis. A consultation with orthopeadician for local examination and imaging (X ray & MRI if required) will help to rule out the condition. Aspiration fluid might be required. Physiotherapy like massage , electrotherapy and exercises along with pain medication will be helpful to clear the problem.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
