After running recently I've been getting a bizarre swelling around my knee which is not painful when walking, but restricts movement of my leg. When I run with it like this it feels like its pushing my kneecap off, but not massivley painful for some reason. It has tended to go after 2 days, but after the last run at the weekend it has stayed.
Anyway I'm going to go to the doctors next week, but wondered if anyone else had had something similar?
Housemaids knee?
Oh god, que the anal running experts....
Look up bursitis.
Osgood–Schlatter's?
Unlikely unless you're young

He's got a swollen knee, not the shits.

Nope!
housemaids knee - steroid injections to clear it up or put up with knee bubbles looking slightly unsightly
Fluid on the knee? A tap on the leg might solve it.
Yes, sounds similar to mine. Initial diagnosis was bursitis, then torn cartilage. When they went in to repair the cartilage, it turned out to be a load of rubbish attached to the various bits of the insides of the knee. After this was hoovered up (almost literally - I have the video) and a couple of steroid injections, it's almost like new.
I had wondered about bursitis, but thought as it comes and goes with running weather it might be something like cheshirecat describes. thanks all, will see what the doc says.
