Subject: pain when bending knee


Hello,
I need some advice. Mom (57) is not a runner, but she is on her foot
a lot and recently developed a problem in her left knee. Knee is
swollen
above cap and in the side (anterior). She feels pain, stiffness and
some
tightness when bending her knee. She is able to walk but feels pain
when bending and stretching.

The back of her knee does not hurt, but the front of the knee hurts and
so does the anterior side (side facing the other leg).

I posted here since I saw other posters with knee issues.

Please advice if you have experience w/ these symptoms and
can offer any advice on treatments. She is currently taking arnica
montana (has no insurance), but w/ no improvement seen.

THANKS

Most of the knee problems we attempt to play dor with are usually
running related or running aggravated. I understand she has no insurance
but any auggestions would be a wild ass guess and possibly do more harm
than good. Get her to a dor for a real diagnosis.
