Will icing help with a runner's knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if new injury: Icing helps a newly injured knee that's inflamed [swelling, tender]. Apply ice 10 minutes at at time. You can wrap ice in a thin towel and put it on your knee. Another trick: rub the sore spot with an "ice pop": freeze water in a paper cup. Then peel the cup down as the ice melts. Hope you're feeling better!
