A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
