What Causes aSwollen Knee?

When excess fluid collects in or around your knee joint, it causes a swollen knee. This condition can result from an injury, aging or other causes that lead to joint damage. A swollen knee is one of the signs that you need treatment for knee pain in Brooklyn or the Bronx.

Various types of arthritis — like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic knee arthritis — commonly cause swollen knees. These conditions irritate your knee’s lining, causing inflammation and excess fluid.

Signs to watch for include:

  1. Swelling that develops rapidly after a fall or twist
  2. Difficulty bending or straightening your knee fully
  3. Warmth and redness around the joint
  4. Ongoing swelling that doesn’t improve with home care

Your knee pain doctor in Brooklyn at the Astra Knee Pain Center treats your knee with effective non-surgical options, including genicular artery embolization (GAE). GAE blocks abnormal blood flow to the inflamed areas in your knee, reducing inflammation, restoring movement and letting you stay active without major surgery.
