What Causes Severe Pain And Swelling Behind The Knee?
Hi. A couple hours ago I started having a lot of pain on the back side of my leg behind my knee. I have swelling, like a lump there but no discoloration on the skin. I m getting pains running up and down my leg. Is this something I need to have looked at right away or can it wait til tomorrow?
It can be due to osteoarthritis which is very common. You can take some pain killer like biozoid-plus or osteonac-th only when the pain is worse enough to disturb your daily routine along with some calcium supplements like shalcal-d or toscal-gem once daily. Do hot water fomentation over the affected region.
