Knee pain is accompanied by fever.
You have dull pain or discomfort related to jogging, cycling, or prolonged kneeling, that's behind or around the kneecap and doesn't go away after four weeks of Home Care. You have pain or swelling in your calf muscle, below the back of your knee. Avoid taking part in activities that may place stress on the knee. A cane or crutches may help to take weight off the injured knee. Aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen may help to reduce pain and inflammation.
