What Causes Knee Pain And Swelling?
Sudden knee joint pain last week with swelling and redness. Went to hospital. Lyme disease, deep joint infection and cellulitis were the ideas they had. IV antibiotics were given and antibiotics to go home with. one week later knee very sore, good when i wake up, through the day swelling continues. Some redness by the end of the day and a stinging achy feeling on the inside side of my knee constantly.

2. Septic arthritis.
3. Tubercular arthritis.
4. Un noticed trauma etc.
