What Causes Pain And Swelling In Right Knee?
I play a lot of competitive tennis: doubles, singles and mixed doubles. I am 57 yr old female in good shape. The inside of my right knee has been bothering me off and on for about 6-9 months. When I was playing the other day, it really was painful to play. Now, 3 days later, I notice it is swollen and possibly bruised a bit. I have a PT who I plan to visit within a few days. Can you help me diagnose my problem?
