Swelling in the knee

2018-03-11 15:40:12
5 years back I had my right patella operated. Suddenly today I had a swelling in the knee after workout and wasn't able to fold my leg. I used a hot water pad and the swelling shifted to backside of the knee. Not able to walk now.

Get x-rays done to check hardware status. You might have done damage to intrarticular structures or your patella fixation (if recent)
