What Causes Water Retention Below The Knees And Tiredness?
I m 39 yrs old, in pretty good health. I exercise several times a week. I have been experiencing water retention in my legs below my knees by the end of the day. It makes my legs feel tired and thick and it s hard to run on my treadmill. Also the last few weeks I have been experiencing night sweats every night. Could these be related and what is going on.

Hello,
It might be due to conditions like joint effusion. Consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
