A member asked:
Is it normal to have a swollen knee and also have extreme burning pain in the knee joint? is a root tear the same as a displacement of the root?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: A swollen joint is never normal and joint pain is never normal. I cannot speak about "root tears.".
