Swelling In Knee, Calf And Ankle, Fluid Around Knee, Pain While Bending. No Help From Antibiotics. History Of Banged Knee. Visit To Physiotherapist Needed?
banged my knee about 8 weeks ago. swelled a bit and some fluid formed. didn t get any treatment as busy at work, not realy that sore. last week knee calf and ankle swelled up. X-ray showed contusion, but said antibotics would sort it out. My ankle and calf are good but i still seem to have alot of fluid around my knee, it is hard to bend and my course of antibiotics is just finished. Should i get physio to try sort it out
