I'm a 19 year old female, with a previous history of Eating disorders. I get intense pain in one of my knees, sometimes after strenous exercise, but sometimes just randomly, espeically when it's cold. It sometimes is slightly swollen also. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

The pain has only been occuring, since a paritcularly bad period of anorexia, a couple of years ago.

This is definitely one for a doctor. There are so many complications from eating disorders that it is hard to say what is actually going on. I will give you a few possibilities.
If it is osteoporosis or something similar, take calcium supplements. There is a chocolate soft chew form I think it is called Vitracal. You can get it at Walmart - It is in a purple box.
If it is arthritis you can take Triflex from GNC. I have arthritis and this product has completely eliminated my pain.
If it is due to weaknesses in the muscles, ligaments or tendons you will need physical therapy to help you strengthen the joint.
If it is due to poor posture or an alignment issue you will need to see a chiropractor. Actually, I suggest you see a chiropractor at least once to be evaluated. Most primary care physicians will not refer you to a chiropractor even if it is clear that you need chiropractic care. I had pain in my knee once that was so severe that they were talking about surgery to correct it. I went to a chiropractor and he said it was because my hip was rotated forward. It took many visits to get my hip to stay where it is supposed to be, but now my knee is free of pain and I never did have that surgery.
There are so many possiblilites it is best to see a doctor for proper treatment.

Joint pain or stiffness of the joint may be caused by overexertion, injuries, arthritis, muscle pain,bursitis and other diseases. Depending on the cause of the joint pain, joints on both sides of the body and small or large joints may be affected. Some types of joint pains can be completely cured but for other types of joint pain (like pain caused by osteoarthritis), treatment will only reduce the pain.

I know two nurses at the hospital where I work who get real benefit and relief from painful knee problems by drinking monavie juice. Also, see the Arthritis Cure by Dr Jason Theodosakis

Go to your local library or bookstore or online bookseller and request any of the books by by Ross A. Hauser and Marion A. Hauser and read it.
My cousin was one of the most severe cases of anorexia for 30+ years until her suicide, so I am familiar with the detrimental effects of it.
