Knee osteoarthritis

AnthonyPK

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee. The calf muscle on the same leg has become swollen, with a painful ache. My local hospital ran tests and found nothing out of the ordinary. Medical staff believe that there is a strain on my calf muscle due to the osteoarthritis in my knee. I just wondered if this is a familiar thing with members on the forum.

Hello @AnthonyPK I hope you get some experiences from others soon. In the meantime have a look at the following:

I have same issue with both calves on my legs and x-ray says I only have mild osteoarthritis in both knees. Have appointment with physiotherapist and will hopefully be referred on to NHS consultant as knees s are quite painful
