A member asked:
My knee is always swollen and uncomfortable to walk on. what's wrong with it? occasionally my knee cap will dislocate because of my loose ligaments.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sprain? Cartilage?: Swelling and pain with walking can be due to a sprain/strain, or a torn cartilage inside the joint. If this has been going on for more than a week or 2, you need to see a doctor and have it checked. Good luck!
