Does anyone have a suggestion for relieving knee swelling? My kneecap feels like someone is pulling it off and the back of my knee feels like it doubled in size-ouch! I've taken some pain killers and anti-inflammatories but they aren't helping much at all. Does anyone have a more natural suggestions?

-how about hot or cold packs. I know some people do better with hot, some cold. 15 minutes on 15-20 off. Wishing you the best!

Try to limit the pain killers. Not good for you in the long run and your body will eventually become immune. They just mask the pain. Get it down with consistent cold compression therapy multiple times a day.

Thanks Devley, I'll give that a go. Currently I've been icing only at night but I guess stepping it up to do it throughout the day can't hurt.

@Sarahjaye Did you injure your knee area before it started swelling?
@Crochetedlady: that's a good suggestion, I'll give the ace wrapping a try. Thank you :-)
