hai,
As pain in leg and swelling in the knee joint at the age of 53 is likely to be osteoarthritis.
prolonged work to the knee and leg muscle will obviously lead to discomfort and painful spells in the night.
in women after post menopause calcium deficiency will be key issues for the weakness of the lower limb.
kindly visit an orthopedic expert to investigate properly and get the treatment as well.
