When your knee first started giving you problems, did your knee swell up and make it difficult to walk? Did the pain shoot down your leg to your calf? Did the swelling become hard (as opposed to "soft", which would be fluid accumulation)?

My answer to swelling as no,just pain all the time.Had the injections,and then had both knees done.Best thing I ever did.

Hi Rina,
I've had 4 knee surgeries and never had swelling. When it came to my right knee, I did have pain radiating down almost to my ankle. This pain was was very pronunced. The cause of MY pain was a meniscial cyst the size of a walnut, which was soft and pressing on nerves. (This cyst was inside the joint, so did not present as a swelling.)
However, if you're having what you've describe, get on the phone tomorrow and make an appointment with your physician, telling them that you have a "hard mass in your knee joint."
If they're not able to see you for several weeks(keep that appointment), go to urgent care tomorrow - Monday. I say this because a hard mass in the knee is rather uncommon. (60% of my professional life was spent working in Ortho.)
Please do this tomorrow.
God Bless - Rebecca

Another of those "medical posts" that makes me clutch my head and rock back and forth in my chair. Good heavens, Rina! Whatever symptoms other people may have experienced, what treatment they've received, how things have turned out, or whether they think theirs might be anything like yours......it's obvious that you have developed a significant knee problem, either from an injury, wear and tear, or even a disease process! Stop playing "match my symptoms" and "help me guess my diagnosis" on bulletin boards and see a doctor for exam, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment options.
And yes, I've had two total knee replacements. My symptoms included pain, swelling, and decreased walking ability.

Why did you find it so very necessary to be incredibly rude to the OP?????
There's already a topic going regarding your rant. Why don't you go over there and complain?
There are enough people in this country right now being rude and untruthful. Must you?

My comments may have been direct, but they were not rude. And certainly not "untruthful". People who have concerning medical symptoms need to see a doctor, not troll for opinions and advice on bulletin boards. No one here knows OP or her health and medical history........and no one can see her knee or is trained to evaluate her symptoms online. Your comments are unnecessary and without merit.
