My r knee has swollen over night and i'm finding it hard to weight bear. i had a dual arthroscopy six years ago for torn cartilage, cld it be that?.

Arthritis vs tear: People who have had a previous tear of a meniscus treated with partial or complete excision are at risk for arthritis of the knee in the years following. This could causeswelling and pain on weight bearing . Progression or re-tearing of the remaining meniscus can occur and cause same symptoms.
