A member asked:
Can the lymph nodes in you knees cause swelling around the knee cap? if so, how do you help it go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There are no lymph nodes around the kneecap. The swelling may be due to bursitis or arthritis. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. If your symptoms persist, see a doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
