How Long Will It Take To Recover From Knee Effusion And Swelling?
I have knee effusion for almost a month,have consulted doctor & did follow RICE. Though the pain has subsidied to some extent yet its not completely gone & there is still swelling. My doctor has put me on medication for synovial knee effusion after studying x-ray & MRI reports. I m 33 yr old & want to get back to regular excercise, how long will it take for this to be normal completely.
