My dad has been complaining about his knee, today when he got home from work he showed both my mother and I his knees and I could see the swelling right away. He says that he cant bend his knee all the way because it hurts. Are these signs of arthritis? He's scared and a bit discouraged he tells my mother and I that he isnt any good anymore. Im worried about my dad because he has never been sick or had any kind/type sickness........Can anyone please tell me if this is an early sign of arthritis? Thank you for your answers!!

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

My guess would be arthritis and he
s not to old for t. Have him use cold packs:Like a fruit jar filled with ice to relieve the pain.
He should be seeing a neurologist and hid family Doctor. He should be on anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers.

I'm not sure. Ask him if a bee ever got near him. Maybe he got stung there. Until then, put some ice over that.

Could be that he has a Bakers cyst. May need a xray.
