Good evening, I heard that one could go to MD.com and get answers to health questions. I just discovered that my knees swooned like it was full of water. I had been doing some work today and was on hands and knees doing it. Is this what might be refereed to as water on the knee and what should I do for it? Should I soak it some way to get the to drain naturally or do I have to go to a MD doctor? Abe
Helots is something very unusual if its without pain despite swelling...however, get checked by an orthopedic doctor. If its hot, and tender to touch, strapping in elastic support, anti-inflammatory meds may be tried by doctor or screening for bursitis, synovitis in joint by x-rays, MRI, if need be. Wait and watch
