Suggest Remedy For Pain And Tightness Around The Knee Cap

A few weeks ago I had a pain on right knee on the bottom left side where the shape starts for your shin. Initially this made me feel sick as the day as they day progressed the pain eased. However this pain has since gone around the knee cap and today as I walk the area directly above my knee feels tight and also numb. What could this be?

This could be fluid collection in arthritis of the knee. You need to get the fluid aspirated by an Orthopaedic surgeon and tested for the various types of arthritis. Apply hot packs. Keep the limb elevated. Take pain killers.
