How to remove the knee fluid

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.

1
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.

The sinovivial fluid fence through puncture for analyzes is prescribed, as a rule, after obtaining the results of blood and X-ray analysis, ultrasound or MRI. It is worth noting that during the diagnostic puncture, it is most often immediately pumped out an excessive fluid, and in some cases they make the injection of a medical drug, for example, diprospahan. After that, the condition immediately improves, but after this procedure, it is necessary to minimize the burden on the joint for at least 3 days.

Depending on the results of the survey, the attending physician appoints medication. For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory preparations (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, meloxico, acetylsalicylic acid and others. NSAIDs have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anesthetic effect. However, if the excessive accumulation of fluid is caused by infection, the NSAID will not get rid of the underlying disease, therefore it is shown the purpose of antibiotics. In more complex cases, glucocorticosteroids are prescribed (prednisolone, dexamethasone, etc.), the use of which can cause a mass of side effects. Therefore, the use of medical drugs is only on the appointment of a medical specialist.

As a result of excessive loads, the joint is wears. In cases of a strong violation of the function of the joint, it is possible to replace it through surgical intervention.

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.
