What Causes Swelling In The Knees?
My knee is slightly swollen and I know I have fluid build up. It s been about 4 days and the swelling has gone down a little. I opted not to get it drained when I saw my dr on Monday, as I have a needle issue. Today, there seems to be a click in my knee when I walk. Any idea what that would be? Thank you.

Hi,
Clicking and swelling in the knee joint is suggestive of internal ligamental or meniscus injury. So in my opinion, you should definitely get done MRI of affected knee joint. This will identify the injury and guide us about the treatment plan. Mostly arthroscopic surgical correction with immobilization are required.
So consult an orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
