See details: If the diagnosis is correct, this is a prepatellar bursitis. It usually resolves with aspiration and a cortisone injection of the bursa. In refractory cases, the bursa can be removed with a simple surgical procedure. Seek an orthopedic opinion if you have not seen one already. Otherwise, speak with your orthopedist again.

See specialist.: See a sports medicine trained orthopedic knee specialist to determine the root cause of the swelling. Fluid on the knee of a 19 y/o indicates some type of intrinsic problem within the knee joint.
