I just remembered about 12 years ago I had something similar.
Woke with a stiff knee.
It got worse, went to emergency room, they thought it was gout, no kidding.
Went and gave me some pain pills...
Got worse, went back, next day.
Gave me a leg brace as I couldn’t walk now, and some antibiotics....
Kept getting worse.
Went to another doctor, well a LPRN, and she asked me what I wanted her to do????
What the heck
It was infected obviously, a big boil, ready to burst...
I told her to lance it and drain that sucker..
She did.
It oozed until no tomorrow, and stunk!
More antibiotics, with a shot to jump start it
The next day it was already getting better.
It was I belief a staph infection
