Question 4

i have arthritis in my knees and wear knee brace but for over a year my knee and leg would stay swollen now my ankle and foot are swollen but no help?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Hard to say, you may want to be seen by a rheumatologist as it is a little unusual for a 33 year old woman to have simple degenerative arthritis.  If you have an inflammatory arthritis, such as rhueimatoid arthritis, this may be beginning to affect your feet and ankles as well.  A detailed exam and appropriate studies can usually determine the cause.

Question 5

what happens if i don't wear my knee brace?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated.: Different knee conditions may need different types of treatment.  Have your knee evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment for your condition.

Question 6

am i supposed to wear a knee brace during rehabilitation excersises?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: It depends on what injury you are trying to rehabilitate. The use of knee braces is controversial, with no solid evidence regarding their use.  Most surgeons will use a post-op brace to protect the knee during the early post-op period, but rehabilitation exercises are designed to restore motion and strength with a low risk of injury, even without a brace.

Question 7

my knee has been hurting ever so often for two years now, i do stretches for it and wear a knee brace so it doesn't hurt as much. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Not too: Much in your age but still things can go wrong... U need to be examined properly by a specialist so look up an orthopedic surgeon. Don't delay, what suffer....

Question 8

when i straighten my right leg it pops painfully and i wear a knee brace on it. what should i do about?

Accepted Answer

Further work up: You need a thorough history, physical exam and possibly some further work up - xray/mri. However, if after the history ; exam, your doc doesn't determine any significant problem or the problem becomes apparent, he may choose to prescribe treatment commensurate to the problem found.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

See details: It is best to have the knee evaluated before you try to self treat.
