Knee Injury 6 Things to Do for the Pain
Knee pain facts
Your plan will depend on your specific injury.
Mild to moderate issues will often get better on
their own. To speed the healing, you can Rest
your knee. Take a few days off from intense
activity. Ice it to curb pain and swelling. Do
it for 15 to 20 minutes every 3 to 4 hours. Keep
doing it for 2 to 3 days or until the pain is
gone. Compress your knee. Use an elastic
bandage, straps, or sleeves to wrap the joint. It
will keep down swelling or add support. Elevate
your knee with a pillow under your heel when
you're sitting or lying down to cut down on
swelling.
3
Take anti-inflammatory medications. Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as
ibuprofen or naproxen will help with pain and
swelling. Follow the instructions on the label.
These drugs can have side effects, so you should
only use them now and then unless your doctor
says otherwise.
4
Practice stretching and strengthening
exercises if your doctor recommends them. You may
want to do physical therapy, too.
Some people with knee pain need more help. For
instance, if you have bursitis, your doctor may
need to draw out extra fluid from the bursa in
your knee. If you have arthritis, you may need an
occasional corticosteroid shot to settle down
inflammation. And if you have a torn ligament or
certain knee injuries, you may need surgery.
