I haven t had any swelling of my knee but today after 2 days of a knee brace my ankle is swollen and pitted and I have an indentation in the outside of my calf.Its only my left side.Im afraid of a blood clot or heart issues.

I really appreciate your concern, knee joint is very fragile joint and easily get injured and the delicate part is meniscus and it need to be taken in consideration and for that it is advisable to get done the MRI, till then do not try to bend the knee joint and for pain Tab Diclofenac 50 mg can be taken once in day, and hope this information helps.
