Hello Dee, I hope you have a follow up appointment soon and get some answers. Before I got diagnosed, my knees were painful and bloated with synovial fluid. It sounds like you have a good consultant, but try to be insistent and get some answers. Early diagnosis is very beneficial for future treatment. All the very best.
