recurring fluid buildup around knee joint

Question  I am a 57 yr old female. I have been diagnosed with having degenerative osteoarthritis in my knees. I have recurring fluid buildup around the joint that can only be removed in the doctor's office. The last time I endured this procedure was June 29 and now it needs to be done again. What am I doing wrong to cause this rapid fluid buildup?
 
Answer  You are not doing anything wrong. The fluid is a result of the degenerative arthritis.
