I played football Friday night but I had no impact that would have caused me to think I twisted my knee. I slept for 7 hours. I was tired (I am 44) but did some household duties like shopping and cooking. I slept again Saturday night for 9hrs got up and did more household duties including going down on my hands and knees to shift some storage. Sunday night I had a hot bath and after the bath I noticed my leg seize and my knee start to swell.
The next day I was shivering and my knee had swollen and was hot to touch. This was the same for 2 days.
I had been using the RICE method and on Wednesday (3rd day) the swelling was reducing movement was being restored and the tiredness and shivering had gone.
Is it just old age creeping up on me, or should I consider arthritis as my mum had rheumatoid and my dad has gout.
