My DH has a bit of arthritis in his right knee but it doesn’t bother him too much. Last Sunday morning he woke up in agony, his knee was swollen and he could hardly put any weight on it. Rang GP on Monday who told him to go for an x ray. Not possible as he couldn’t walk. By Thursday the whole leg was swollen and painful - we were told to phone an ambulance. A&E took blood and were pretty sure he had a DVT. A Dopla scan revealed a burst Bakers Cyst at the back of the knee. Apparently no treatment other than ice pack, paracetamol, rest & gentle exercise. DH is a big strong fella, never ill but this has reduced him to a virtual invalid. The pain is terrible. Has anyone else experienced this?
