Swelling: Swelling indicates damage. However to determine the cause of the damage, and thus the appropriate treatment, you will need to be examined, have your medical history reviewed, probably imaged, possibly lab tested. To continue to ignore the swelling would not be in your best interest. Please see a General Practitioner, a specialist Orthopedic Surgeon, or a specialist Rheumatologist for care.
