Knee swelling
I'm 29 years old female with a height of 5.4 inches and a weight of 51kg. I've developed swelling on my knee suddenly. While going to the office, I've to walk for 25 mins one way (no transportation available in that part of the area. I live in Melbourne). My knee doesn't pain, but when my knee (top part of my knee and side) is swollen, I find it difficult to walk or bear weight on that knee. I visited a doctor here, but he just gave me painkillers and told me that nothing's serious. But a swollen knee causes a real discomfort and affects my day-to-day life.
I'd like to know what could have caused swelling and how can I get my knee healed completely.
I'd greatly appreciate your help/advice.
Thank you.
