A member asked:

What can i do for my knee that is slightly swollen, hurts to put weight on and to move from siting to standing. and also just to bend it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

RICE and an eval: Rest, ice, compression, elevation. You should also get a physician to take a look at it to make sure it is not something more serious, like an infection, fracture or significant tendon injury.
