First strategy: Typically, rest, activity modifications, anti-inflammatory medications form the cornerstone of conservative management of patients with knee pain. Icing for periods of 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day can also help. A physician can also evaluate you and offer you a cortisone injection. Finally, low impact quadriceps strengthening exercises and weight loss can help minimize knee discomfort.
