There is no pain at rest. He also experienced pain in his right knee during the same time period, but without associated swelling or restriction of motion. There is no history of recent trauma. His medical, surgical, and family histories are unremarkable. He is not on any medications, including supplements and over-the-counter medications. He is a heavy drinker, having consumed an average of 3 to 4 units of alcohol per day for around half a decade now. A full blood count is normal. His ESR is 5 mm/1h.
