Swollen Knee And Pain

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Albany, GA

Greetings All,I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a swollen knee and pain for over 3-4 months. And if so what was the diagnosis and how was it treated? Can this be related to a flare and how long will it last?

I had pain in my right knee for a long time and had the fluid removed every 3-4 months until I was told I had to get my knee replaced, which I did in 2020.

are you following a diet of no sugar, grains, dairy? Are you sure you don't have Lyme? Swollen knees are a key symptom.

@A myRAteam Member How has it been going after surgery? I have spoken with a handful of individuals that state they are still experiencing pain.

Yes! Both of my knees are absolutely terrible and excruciating pain. Before being diagnosed I woke up one morning with both my knees blown up like balloons and I couldn't walk,pain was terrible and they have never been the same since my rheumatologist drains both of them a d does injections but the injections only last for a couple days, we are figuring out what is next

Have you by chance had an injection done. They do help but I must say the pain will come back. Wishing you the best.
