Recently, I heard that there is a new drug that can be injected into the knees that acts like cartilage to provide cushioning between the joints. Do you know what this injection is? Has it been approved for treating arthritis patients?
Yesterday morning, I was hit by a baseball on the inside of my knee causing a great amount of pain. Later in the day, the knee swelled up and I iced it. I also started running a low fever (100.5 F) that was reduced by taking Advil. Now, more than 24 hours later, the swelling has not gone down. I can?t put much weight on the leg. If I stop taking Advil, the fever returns. Are my symptoms related to each other or is it just a coincidence that I became feverish at the same time I got hit?

What is “pes anserinus” bursitis?
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with osteopenia and take a pill once a week to build up the bone, as well as 1500mg of calcium with vitamin D. I also had a heel spur removed from both feet that has plagued me for 25 years. I am concerned about stopping the calcium supplement for the osteopenia, but I am also afraid to continue taking the calcium for fear that it will add to further bone spurs. Any advice?
