A member asked:

Lose of mass in leg with pain and sweelling in knee area why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See orthopedics : Because of your past history of giant cell tumor it is important to find out why the knee is swollen. It is normal for muscles around a joint to become weak and lose mass if the joint is painful or has loss of function. You should see an orthopedics surgeon soon.
