Hi, I m a bodybuilder & just increased my workouts. Also, I had some swelling of the left leg due to extended time on feet at work in tight shoes. Now, I have slight swelling behind the left knee. If I bend deeply or straighten too much, I have pain. Any suggestions on what might be going on?
Hello, Pain in the leg and behind the knee which is aggravated by pressing it sounds like a ligament sprain. Use the knee cap, hot water fermentation and give rest to the joint for a week by allowing it to bear less weight. Post that starts exercise and for stability and strengthening the knee joint. An MRI is advised since you are a bodybuilder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
