In great pain - hurt knee - please help?
This knee is the size of a football now - is it hot or cold compresses that help? Should I wrap it or let it be? I am staying off of it. Have had this happen before - but it has never been this swollen. Had arthroscopic surgery on it 25 years ago. Really appreciate it - thanks!

If this just started ICE ICE ICE no heat for AT LEAST 24 hrs. Ice will stop the swelling. I you apply heat it will get even bigger. If it is the size of a football go to the doctors ASAP.

Cold...
don't use hot - that will make it worse, it increases teh blood flow. Hot is for healing after the swelling goes down.
