I am in extreme pain with my knees, I mean agony, but the swelling I did have for months has actually gone down, there isn’t really any warmth either, the pain is waking me at night with huge surges of adrenaline as pain is so intense and I’ve not been sleeping some nights all night. Ive been on sleeping tablets, codeine, paracetamol, voltarol gel, nothing is touching the pain although zopiclone does knock me out. Could this still be knee inflammation even though the swelling and warmth is down or is this now likely nerve pain or mechanical destruction.

What does your pain feel like and does your pain correlate with swelling?
