What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Knees?
Hi, I hear popping sounds in my knee, and i see swelling. It hurts to walk, and when I went to Urgent Care, they said to walk it off and come back if it worsens. It is turning blue and black, and getting more swollen. What should I do? Should I get a knee brace, or crutches?

Hello,
You need to find out the cause. This needs to be done at a primary care doctor's office. Urgent care is really only for acute problems. You need to find a doctor and get an exam, xrays and blood tests done. Only when the cause is determined will you be able to get the best treatment.
