Swelling of knee
Hi. 6 years back my right knee patella was operated and the steel wire is still there. The surgeon had said no need to remove the wire until it causes any problem. Since then i had no problem. But now, whenever i do some dumbel lifting at home, my right knee swells (without pain). This happened 3 months back. The doctor took out an xray and said its just deposition of some liquid. He gave some tablets and the swelling went in 2-3 days. Last friday i worked out again with dumbels. Again i can see swelling on the right knee (No pain though). Im wondering why this happens. Whats the root cause? Should i get the wire removed? Is it a serious issue or i can just ignore and stop lifting weights?
