Case Summary | Swollen Right Knee
| Condition | Knee Meniscus Injury |
| Case Description | I had a tremendous amount of swelling in my right knee after no known physical activity that would result in an injury. The swelling caused limitation on range of motion as well as discomfort when sitting or walking. It was ultimately determined that I had aggravated the meniscus after an MRI provided information that there was no tears of any kind. Two cortisone shots later and several weeks of physical rehab and it is back 100%. |
