My mums knee is hot, swollen and painful all the time. shes seen doctors and they have been no help. she has had two scans and they have detected no?

Hot, swollen knee: Sounds like it may be time to do a tap. Scans are hands-off procedures that are easy to do, but may not give complete information. Extracting fluid from the knee for analysis may provide the answer.
