Painful knees and swollen leg?
In November, my knee become painful. In January I go to the Doctor who diagnosed arthritis, without even touching my knees. He sent me for X-rays, which show nothing. Because I be in cramp he decided to inject the knees, but it didn't help I asked to be referred to a physio, to see if exercises would support.
After the injection I thought my leg was a bit swollen, but he didn't appear that worried. Yesterday I actually get to see the physio and he took one look at my leg and freaks. I have round legs, I hadn't realised that my leg was if truth be told quite swollen. The physio phoned the doctor, and very soon I'm being referred to both the orthopaedic surgeon, and someone to look at the circulation within my leg. The physio thinks that at hand may be damage to the cartilage and a Bakers cyst, a bit than arthritis.
Do you think a physio will know better than my GP?
What can I expect from the specialists?
Should I be worried just about the swelling, its not red or painful?
Any guesses to what this is?

When its 95 degs, outside and humid as hell, what do you drink for a soar throat?
You necessitate to have another judgment from an orthopedic. If you had arthritis it would show on the ex shaft of light. If you have a cyst and the injection be not applied to it, it would have done no appropriate. If the area is inflammed and cartilage mischief a injection may or may not help. Knees are zilch to mess around with. Good luck, an orthopedic will know more than your GP concerning your joint.
I suggest you get another feelings from an orthopedist.
