What Causes Swollen Leg After An Injury?
I am a W F 44 and have lost about 40-45lbs over the past 3 years with diet an exercise. I have a problem with my left leg being swollen around and behind the knee, about 20 yrs ago I think it was damaged when I stepped up onto the lower step of a city bus from street level. Something popped and the leg swelled. My dr at the time took films, but nothing could be found. I am also experiencing pain similar to tennis elbow in both arms.

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Its the symptoms of slight inflammation. But without investigations, nothing could be said. It could be simple bursitis.
I suggest you to go for a complete blood count, crp, ESR and blood culture.
For symptomatic relief, you can take diclofenac SP or aceclofenac.
God bless you
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
