Hello,
Swelling in the knees can be anything. First, we need to know did you had any trivial trauma. If so then it could be fracture patella or meniscal tear injury. If there is prolonged immobilization then it could be hampering of the circulation which might be causing you this. For that, you need to use compression stockings to improve circulation. If its due to bad posture and sciatic nerve compression then you need to care about it and take neurobione forte for healing injured nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
