What can i do to help knee inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrap/brace, NSAIDs: Wrap the knee in an ace wrap or slip on a knee brace (both available at most drug stores otc). This will reduce the stress on the knee. Then take an NSAID like Ibuprofen or Naproxen (any brand) to help with the inflammation. If your symptoms worsen or don't get better after 4-5 days, see your doctor for evaluation. Lastly, still use your knee for light activity. Strict rest is not good.
