Tell Me The Precautions And Exercises For Knee Effusion
A month ago, I was diagnosed with knee effusion (water above the knee). I am much better now. How long can I expect for the swelling to go completely. Any precautions and exercises I should take/do before I am normal?

You may need 2-3 weeks. It is possible after Transient Synovitis which is relatively common and harmless. It should go away in a week's time if you take care of the knee joint. If the Doctor has advise to wear a cast, avoid much mobility of that knee. Take Pain killers as advised by the Doctor for the 1 week and you should be fine.
