I cut my tibia tubercle & it opened up a bunch of fluid into my knee(6 stitches). m. what can i do to reduce the swelling quicker?

Cut in tibia tubercl: How long ago? how long is the wound? I think is about 6-8 cm. and the depth into the synovial of the joint. Obviously required repair. was this done in layers?1-2, 3 layers, or just the skin. Was the repair done in the ER or in a walk in clinic? are you on antibiotics? all this issues are very important. An injury of a joint with damage of the synovia must be treated with aggressively. the swelling is a mark of inflammation, which can be from the injury or from infection. do you have drainage from the wound? is it clear or yellowish-greenish stained. Any way you should be examined by an orthopedic surgeon, who will have the opportunity to feel the joint, assess the mobility, and the cartilages, and start you on antibiotics or change them if required, and in the event of drainage take a specimen for culture and sensitivity. or
