Knee Effusion (water On the Knee Posted: 01-26-04 15:43pm
I went to emergency because my knee had
swollen and it was hard to walk and the
doctor told me I had water on the knee.
It isn't necessarily hurting but stiff and
it makes it hard to walk.
He didn't drain it or anything. Should
he have?
He told me it came from favoring my right
leg and gave me some leg exercises to do
it seems to me it there's water on your
knee it should be drained. He also
prescribed me some anti-inflammatory
medication and pain pills
