Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Knee

Hi, I am a 31yr old type one diabetic (27yrs) I have swelling in both feet to the knee, I ve had dvt in the past, pain wise the right leg feels similar but considering I m swollen in both legs I didn t think it could happen to both at the same time. I m also experiencing a shooting pain in the lower part of my ribs on the left side. I ve had a few dramas with the right kidney and have noticed that there seems more blood in the urine

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain and swelling in knee. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Chondromalacia, Bursitis, Patellar Tendonitis, Arthritis, Osteochondritis, Torn Meniscus or sciatica . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and urine test for gout . Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory painkillers, muscle relaxants, warm or cool compresses depending upon the cause, physiotherapy to relieve and strengthen the muscles,weight loss and doctor may also prescribe nerve supplement or surgery in severe case .For now keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and keep your legs elevated while lying down .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
