What Causes Redness And Pain In Knee?
My husband has had a pain in his knee for about a week. He was complaining of the pain and ask if I would massage it tonight. When I looked at it it was visibly red and has a white ring round the knee and up on the thigh some. What could these symptoms mean?

Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with arthritis.
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
An MRI is required in case of diagnostic confusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
