[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was going to say torn meniscus before reading your whole post where it was ruled out. My knee swelled due to that (and early signs of arthritis). I'd definitely start with a rheumatologist since they deal with diseases involving the joints (arthritis, lupus, other autoimmune disorders, etc.). [/quote] Was your torn meniscus diagnosed by MRI with or without contrast? How were you treated? How long did the swelling last? [/quote] PP here. No contrast. No MRI. I think it was an ultrasound? It was an in-office thing. The second time they took an x-ray. Cortisone shots both times. helped immediately. I don't remember how long the swelling lasted, but the first one happened on spring break, and I could barely walk and not without pain. [/quote]
