[|Human|] I am having severe knee pain. Knee cap area more on inner leftside side and down slightly, Very sensitive to touch, slightly swollen, concentrated in an area a little smaller than the size of a tennis ball. It ached, throbs, hard to walk, bend, sleep. I tried ice, aspirin, ibumotrin I am miserable. I do not remember injury, it came on over a week or so, rest helps a little and if I walk stiff legged it does not hurt as strongly. What is this, what causes this, what should I do
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case and I think that this can be either an infection or knee synovitis. In this condition I would suggest you to visit an orthopedic doctor and get your clinical evaluation. If there is any infection then you need to take antibiotics for it. If there is synovitis then it is better that you take steroid injection in the knee. Avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and stairs climbing. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
