I have painfull swelling in my lower leg also i have a problem with mymeniscus'ss what can cause this?

My wife had the same problem and the dr.'s did nothing for her so she tried her chiropractor who did acupuncture on her which helped for one day and she was back to pain. I worked on it for her by pressing my fingers up into it and holding them there for as long as I could. After about 30 seconds or so there would be little releases going on that would make her jump and winch in pain but I got it to free up her leg enough to be without pain. That's a hard one to do to yourself. Just thought you would like to know what we were able to do with something similar.
