@precisioncaremedical: How to alleviate knee pain without surgery? When fluid collects inside the knee, even simple movements like walking, bending, or standing up can become uncomfortable. During a knee aspiration, a physician carefully removes the excess fluid from the joint to relieve pressure and improve comfort. In some cases, the fluid may also be sent for testing to help identify the underlying cause of the swelling. Relieving the pressure is only part of the recovery process. Staying active, strengthening the muscles around the knee, and following a rehabilitation plan are often the keys to better long-term function. #kneepain #recovery
