[|Human|] My husband is 80 years old and has dementia. His problem now is that is right knee is swollen and giving him a lot of pain. I think he should see an orthopedic doctor but I don t know if it should be a doctor or a surgeon. Could recommend what I can do? What doctor I should take him to?
[|AI|]  Hello! I read your question and I understand your concern. In my opinion the swollen knee is not related to any neurological problem. I think the main cause of his problems is arthritis from degeneration of the bones and ligaments of this joint. I would like to know if he has had any trauma or fall. Furthermore, I would recommend you to consult with a rheumatologist first and have a full blood work, inflammation tests and a X-ray of the knee. If a traumatic injury or fracture suspected in the X-ray I recommend you to consult with an orthopedist. An MRI of the knee would examine better the problem. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes
