I’ve had knee problems for the past 9 months or so. Anyone have a similar story with a good ending?
Starting last November, my knee got really swollen. It was to the point where I couldn’t bend it and the pressure of the fluid caused great pain. I’ve had x-rays, an MRI, and blood tests done that haven’t pinpointed the exact cause. I’ve been seeing a rheumatologist because the doctors suspect I might have rheumatoid arthritis. The medication they gave me worked for a month or two, but my swollen knee is back. I’ve begun to wonder if the doctors really know what’s wrong. I used Webmd and researched pseudogout and gout, which also match my symptoms. Anyone have any idea at all?

my friend had the same problem and he died…..sorry……..just kidding
preppychick’s friends leg actually fell off
I had the same thing for a year and a half. I had to switch to another orthopedic surgeon who gave me a steroid shot, and started on physical therapy. My knee got worse, so he went in and did arthroscopic knee surgery. They found A LOT of scar tissue, which most of the time it doesn’t show up on MRI’s and x-rays. I suggest you go see another doctor.
