Swollen knee

2024-02-27 14:26:14
I got a knee effusion in my right knee due to a kind of inflammatory arthritis which was aspirated and plaster was applied for 21 days to prevent recurring. Post plaster removal i got weakness in my leg muscles and stiffness which reduced by physiotherapy. Still i had some swelling in knee. Should i wear both crepe bandage and hinged knee cap? Or a knee cap only is good enough. currently i am icing my knee 2/3 times a day and hot water 2 times a day. Is it enough to reduce the remaining swelling ? If not then what can i add more. Till today (27 feb) it's been 28 days of removing plaster.
