[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 316546, member: 3444"] When I was a kid I had water-on-the-knee from repeatedly falling hard on it. After initially icing it to reduce the swelling (usually just over the first 24 hours I think?), we treated it with heat and kept it elevated a lot. The heat increases blood flow to the area to speed the healing and absorption of the excess fluid. And yes, you have to keep it wrapped when you are using it so you support the joint and don't mess things up further. Beyond that, I don't think there's much else you can do except be patient. But then, I'm not a doctor -- I just play one on the internet. :p [/QUOTE]
