Joint fluid turning to gel???

samozoa

I saw my consultant finally on Friday and after doing an ultrasound on my knee he told me the excess fluid has started to solidify into a thick gel like substance instead of a fluid. Has anyone much experience with this I’ve never heard of it before, I’ve got a steroid injection in March and if that doesn’t work I could need a removal surgery. Dr thinks only thing stopping me having a somewhat normal knee is this gel fluid, is it really possible I could have normal function again

Your synovial fluid accumulates I think around a joint people here have had it removed in the past. Not sure if this is what they are thinking for you??

Good luck @samozoa
