Swelling After Kneeling: Potential Circulatory Concerns - Urgent Advice

Question
Im a 60 year old flooring installer, recently my knee swelled up and when I knell on it ,it feels like Im kneeling on a water balloon. Now a couple days later my ankle and foot are also swollen. What causes this and what should I do?  THANK YOU TOM

Answer
Hi Tom and thanks for writing,

You really should go to Emergency or at least see your GP today - it sounds to me like you have a circulatory probelm which could be serious (it may not be, but better safe than sorry).

I hope it turns out to be nothing serious, all my best,
