How to get rid off my pain & swelling on my knee ?I had hurt just above my right knee nearly a one & half months ago. The pain was reducing slowly. Suddenly a swelling formed upon my knee 15 to 20 days back. I showed the doctors. One said that it is Bursitis with some fluid in it while another sail it is Osteo- Arthiritis. They all suggested only pain killers. I took lots pf pain-killers but all went in vain. I still apply the Volini, Iodex locally. The main problem now is that I feel pain while folding my right leg, cannot sit on with folded knees and also feel pain while climbing up or down the stairs. I want suggestions from u all how to get rid off this problem. Will that fluid go away ? I am 56 years old.

You didnt mention having had any ex-rays of the knee... It's not good to have swelling (and pain) for such a long time.
Go to an Orthopedist (bone Dr). They'll at least ex-ray and find out for sure what is causing the symptoms and what your options are from there...

Chronic knee pain sufferer writing. Sorry to hear about ur dilema. Did the Physician bother or suggest DRAINING the fluid off of this offensive knee? This needs to happen. Sounds like you need to see an Orthopedic Physician if you are not satisfied with the advice you are getting. Try the following in the meantime: Get a knee brace, one that has a hole where the knee cap is located. Make sure there are slits on either side of the knee cap. This will help. Also, REST the knee, Elevate the knee, and ICE the knee. A bag of veggies will make a great ice bag if you haven't got an ice bag on hand. In addition, a good anti-inflammatory like Ibuprophen, up to 800 mg every 6 hours will help. I hope this advice has helped. I go to a pain management clinic, where I get injections in my knee 4 times yearly. If you haven't had x-rays, MRIs, or CT Scans done, I would INSIST on this. Take care and good luck!

Try to stay off the sore knee & elevate as much as possible. Try alternating moist warm heat & ice packs. See ANOTHER doctor.
I have Rheumatoid arthritis & unfortunately there's only so much one can do to alleviate chronic pain. Sometimes we have to learn to live with it.

visit a sports therapist.
they specialise in joint injuries in relation to muscular disorders.
likely they will massage the area to drain fluids from the area and also do some pressure point massage to relax muscles and fachia and tendons. these muscles may just be trapping or constricting nerves. when the muscle relaxes the nerves should fire up and start to work correctly transmitting message more efficiently to and from the brain sensory motor centre.
do not go to a general massage therapist who is not skilled in refex and joint rotation. they may add to your problem.
