Question 1

i injury my right knee on monday and my right ankle is swollen ?

Accepted Answer

Chain chain chain.: The hip bone is connected to the knee bone and the knee bone is connected to the ankle bone. The ankle bone is connected to the toe bone and that is why you have the swelling in your ankle. All are inter connected. if one link de-stabilizes, you can expect another link, further down to do the same. The swelling is the bodies way of stabilizing the increased stress to the joint bellow the hurt knee

Question 2

what to do if i sprained my right knee over the weekend and my right ankle is swollen, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: When you injure the knee you get swelling to the injured area and forces of gravity will pull it down the leg. Also, its possible you injured your ankle at the same time and didn't realize it.

Question 3

spiral twist brake left leg above ankle started use walker 1 1/2 mo ago. right knee swollen-severe pain-feels it gonna blow out my knee?serious/normal

Accepted Answer

Could be serious: When you broke the leg the twisting force could have damaged your knee as well. If that is something that does not get better by itself after a few days of resting the knee it would be a good idea to have it looked at (probably best to see the dame doctor that treated the fracture).

Question 4

i fell 5 days ago on a tile floor, bruised both knees.  now my right knee is swollen with burning pain from knee to ankle ?

Accepted Answer

Swollen knee: Swelling of the knee after a fall can be superficial or internal damage, an examination in person can help determine the difference. The burning to the ankle seems like you bruised the common peroneal nerve on the side of the knee. See a doctor in person

Question 5

i hurt my right knee. ankle and foot is swollen and sharp pain in knee, calf, and ankle when i walk. what should i do. i tried ice and heat for 2 days?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical help: If pain and swelling not resolving should see an orthopedic or family physician to determine strutural damage such as ligament, meniscus or bone. This usually will require imaging, the tests determined by clinical suspicion of the physician.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

I : I don't know what the cause is of the knot behind your right knee. It could be a baker's cyst.

Question 8

sharp pain around right knee shooting down leg when crossing it. patella doesn't hurt. full weight bearing and strength. not swollen either.

Accepted Answer

Meniscus injury: An injury to the meniscus can lead to pain when applying pressure to the inside of the knee while crossing the legs this can be aggravated. Although usually there is swelling of the knee sometimes you'll only get pain and not much swelling. If regularanti-inflammatories and ice or not helping then it is necessary to obtain consultation with an orthopedic specialist.

Question 9

after sitting for a while with my right leg tucked under mg right knee i stood up and my calf was red swollen and felt heavy. what  can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Compressed veins: When you bend your leg underneath you can compress the veins behind your knee.  This can cause the blood to back up into your calf.  There is the chance that you may even form a blood clot.  However, if the swelling resolved quickly then you are probably ok.  If you have continued swelling and pain you should see your doctor.

Question 10

i have a old ligament injury to right knee and now on top it i have a bakers cyst. and very swollen hole right leg and can hardly walk and flutters

Accepted Answer

Joint problems: It sounds to me like there are multiple issues surrounding your knee/leg. It is time to get to a board-certified orthopedic surgeon for an in depth evaluation of all the problems.
