I've been having some issues the past couple weeks; I have no idea how I hurt this thing. Maybe working out? Doesn't hurt-
First the urgent care just wrapped it up and gave me some prescription strength anti-inflammatory; that didn't do anything except upset my stomach. I bought a couple knee braces without an open kneecap and those feel good.
Then I went to my regular doctor and they drained it with a needle; not the most pleasant thing but made it feel and look better. However 24 hours later it's blown up again (looks ridiculous).
You guys got any experience with this or ideas on dealing with it? Doctor said if you leave it alone it usually reabsorbs in about a month but I was hoping to do something before then. I have no problem having it drained again but how do I prevent it from filling up again? Looks like a balloon right next to and on top of my kneecap.
Don't look it up on YouTube - Jesus. These guys draining it themselves... I run too much to risk infecting it. I'm hoping someone has some old-school Appalachian treatment that works. Or Pappy's solution.
Or magic crystals.
