A member asked:

Please advise if it's bad if i exercise with a knee effusion and knee pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: It may be bad, because an effusion indicates that something is structurally wrong with your knee. You should see an orthopedic knee specialist, to see if exercising through it is ok.
