Knee swelling, often called water on the knee, can be chronic and debilitating. It can lead to a loss of motion in the knee and the ability to walk or stand too!
Sometimes doctors offer to drain the fluid in the knee to reduce the swelling. This can help with tolerating more standing, walking and can instantly increase mobility as well.
But is this a good thing to do?
Should you get your knee drained to help with knee pain?
What if that fluid is supposed to be there for a specific reason?
Why does the fluid build up again?
Dr. David answers all these questions about draining the water on the knee.

Had my knee drained before seeing videos. The fluid and tinge of nerve twangs is already coming back after only 5 days. Just like you said, the ortho told me ok to do my walks - no worry!! But after listening to you I hear I must take it easy, get the MRI. Will ice help with the fluid until I figure out my plan?? Thanks so much!!

In the future don't get your knee drained unless you're not inflamed anymore. And you're on a downhill slope like if you look at your knee everyday and you see it going down. You can help it out like that but if you're totally inflamed it's just going to come back the next day or two days later. I look at my knee and I say well it's going to do what it wants to do. When it wants to come down it will. One thing you might try when your knee is inflamed seems to help me it's pineapples and cherries. Either it was a coincidence and it was starting to come down or they helped I'm not sure

Hi, i've suffered from patella maltracking, Hoffas fat pad impingment and patellar tendinosis on my left knee. It started in June 2022. Since then the fluid has been more than normal. I've tried to strengthen the glutes and foam roll the thighs daily. I've tried to work on my foot muscles. The left knee is longer and is hyper mobile. I've tried to work on my hip mobility. I've tried to take off pressure from the knee joint but the problem persists. Ghe root cause to this problem is still a mystery. And the doctor didn't want to drain the knee. I fear that the cartilage on the femur is being damaged. What to do when you have tried all? Feels like the doctor and the physios don't have the tools to deal with these types of problems. Feels shit.

Okay I thought I would hold off on commenting until I was sure. So my knee was really swollen around the kneecap. From January 25th to February 25th. On the 25th it look like it was starting to go down. It's been going down every day since the 25th of February day and night. I'd say it's probably about 70% down now. Been doing the tailgate kicks. Probably two weeks after My knee got inflamed. This is the third time it's happened each time it happens it's normally about a year and a couple months in between. The first time it took one month for it to go down. The second time it took two weeks. This time it took one month.

Hey Solin! Great question! It really depends on how bad your knee is and if you're doing the right things to help your knee. For some it may take just weeks and for others it might take months...either way, you've got to take pressure off your knee so that you can allow your knee to be more normal. That means you should fix the muscle imbalance.

People with osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis may react badly to potatoes since its a vegetable that belongs to the nightshade family. Seed oils are inflammatory and may cause a reaction in certain people and should be avoided! If you have noticed that your knee swells up when eating potatoes and seed oils you could try leaving them out to see if you improve. With optimal diet you can improve massively.
