What Causes Knee Throbbing And Pain With Swelling?
I seem to have hurt my knee - it has swollen up around the kneecap - especially on one side. The swelling seems quite soft. Can t hold weight on that side. Painful, but not extemely so. Throbbing as i ve just finished work. Did a lot of kneeling at weekend, and do remember it clicking - but nothing that explains this. Any ideas what to do at home to help?

Hello,
Possible causes like knee joint effusion must be ruled out. Consult an orthopedic and plan for an ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis.
If there is fluid collection in the joint cavity, it must be drained. As of now you can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
