My left wrist, forearm and knee are painful and swollen. this has happened off and on for the past 3 or 4 months.

Possible autoimmune: On and off swelling of joints is suggestive of an underlying infectious process or autoimmune process like rheumatoid arthritis. You should see your MD about this preferably when the swelling is occurring. You need a good examination and blood tests at a minimum and possibly some xrays.
