Minimal knee effusion
My right knee has small effusion it is not going down even after taking tablets. Got MRI done, it says there is a mild strain in ligament. My concern here is if it mild why the minimal fluid in the knee is not going away after taking tablets for 10days now. Please somebody suggest what could be done to have this completely cured
