I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of " Patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competancy in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical finding, investigations and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan
A 60 year old male patient from dhamera village came to casuality with chief complaints:
Fever since 8 days
Right LL swelling and redness since 7 days

Patient was a farmer 7 years ago but now his sons take care of his land , since then he doesn't do any farming work. His wife passed one year ago, since then he lives alone at his home. He used to get knee pain frequently for which he used to consult nalgonda hospital and the pain used to get relieved after taking medications.
He has back pain from nape of neck to lower back which is of dragging in nature 3 days before the onset of swelling. It used to relieve on taking medications.
