The fluid in the knee joint or the articular effusion is a pathological condition, which is accompanied by painful sensations, stiffness and significant restriction in motion.
With raising fluid level in the knee joint, it is recommended to avoid excessive load on the joints, eliminate long walking, running. To reduce pain and swelling, attach ice for 10-15 minutes, raising the leg above the heart level. Do light massage movements around the joint and along the legs. Increasing the level of fluid in the joint is not an independent disease, the effusion is a consequence of inflammatory disease (rheumatoid, jet or septic arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis, bursitis, etc.), joint injuries or strong load. Treatment in each case is partially different. In this regard, it is important to correctly determine the reason to take the right measures to eliminate it. To do this, contact the doctor who will appoint research, among which the most common x-rays, MRI, ultrasound, blood tests, knee joint puncture, arthroscopy.
In preventing problems with the joints of the legs, it is important to carry out preventive measures. If the cause is a chronic disease, then it is necessary to constantly pass inspections from a doctor and follow its recommendations. As is known, overweight gives a greater load on the joints of the legs, so it is worth paying due attention to physical exercises to strengthen the muscles of the legs and fight overweight.
