A member asked:
I had a torn meniscus, and i was perscribed naproxen. i was wonderin does that help to reduce fluid? and when should i go to the docs for the fluid?

Naproxen helps.: Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory medication, that should help reduce the fluid on your knee. But you should see an orthopedic knee specialist, because any fluid buildup on the knee generally means that something is wrong inside the joint.
