Generalised knee swelling in adults

Abstract

Elvis, a 62-year-old man, visited your clinic for his diabetes mellitus and gout follow-up. You wondered how his right knee pain was and whether it might have been affecting his delivery work, which involved carrying heavy goods in and out of a truck. He often lamented that he was not as fit as he used to be and had stopped all impact sports after his right knee injury ten years ago. He said that his right knee pain and swelling were limiting his climb up and down his truck and asked for analgesia.
