A member asked:
Last week i fell on the ice and the doctor said i have fluid in my knee will the fluid go away by itself ?

Likely: You likely have a collection of fluid or blood in the bursal sack overlying the knee. These usually resolve on their own. You can help it by using mild heat and compression bandage. That should speed its resolution. Good luck!
