Number of reasons -: Like an injury to it, bleeding into the joint, or fluid build up from any cause, a fracture of the bones making the knee joint, pulled muscles, strained ligaments around the knee. Could you provide more details as to how it developed? Any injury, any immobility for any reasons, etc, etc. Thanks!
