Afternoon Ladies,
I am becoming slightly concerned about my left knee. I seems to have changed shape completely, a lot bigger with a noticeable swelling above the knee cap a bit to the outside. First noticed this around New Year time. Actually both knees seem slightly swelled, but the left one is definately worse. (I'm hoping that it's not just fat, as that seems to be depositing itself in every other part of my body at the moment

). I had an xray on the left one a few years back and 'wear and tear' was diagnosed. I do get some pain in it at certain times but not where the swelling is. My legs really don't look like they belong to me anymore. Made an appointment with doctor but that's not until the middle of May! My son looked aghast when I showed him and prompted me to get it looked at. I have mentioned previously about tingling legs, which after some absence has returned, so am wondering if it could all be to do with fluid retention. The knee isn't red, just big and squishy looking. Any one any ideas? (The swelling does go up and down abit but never back to normal.
