Hi Poppppy. My legs swell terribly when I take any thyroid med containing T4 or a thyroid supplement containing thyroid glandular (which has T4 in it). How do your lab test results look? Have they tested Reverse T3? Could you be undermedicated?

It could be bursitis ( inflammation of the bursa sacs in the knee area).
