Diagnosis for swollen knee, constant pain,limited movement, locking feeling, have to keep knee straight, swollen for 5 months,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Swelling and pain can come from arthritis, bursitis or a tendon or meniscus problem. Locking usually involves the meniscus. You need an MRI of your knee to determine the exact cause in your case. Also an orthopedic doctor may be able to give you a better idea of what is going on just by examining your knee. See your doctor soon.
