Good morning my lovelies

I have a question for all of you who have or have had Osteoarthritis - did you ever notice that the swelling (fluid) in your knee migrated to your lower leg and foot? My unoperated knee has severe OA, and I have marked swelling in my calf and foot, as well as around the knee. No pain associated with it, apart from my OA pain in the knee.

I dont remember this happening with the TKR knee, and was just wondering if anyone else had?? I dont want to bother with a GP visit if its a run of the mill symptom.

    See your GP as it sounds like Odema (water retention) a course of Furozemide tablets will bring the swelling under control.
