How To Treat Knee Swelling With Tenderness?
Male, 55 years old, very active. Ran marathon 1 month ago, currently training for triathlon. Went on a very steep 4 hour hike this week. Last night after biking I noticed that the back of my right knee was swolen. Not painful but tender. Only shows when I straighten my leg. Other than tenderness and feeling the bump I would not know it was there. I will cut back on activity and ice as needed to reduce swelling.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to overuse of the knees. I suggest using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and rest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
