I’d go and see your gp chacha, it could be your RA or could be something else, best get it checked out.

Will I’m gonna call tomorrow thanks hun
Is it swollen and squishy all round, or just squishy behind the knee? As you could have a Baker's cyst, or the RA could be having a go. In the early days mine would swell like footballs and the thing that helped most was getting them drained.
Even if only a little swollen best to see someone as you don't want to to get worse! Amd take photos so if it vanishes you can show your rheumy at your next appointment.
