water on the knee

[johnny bravo]

seems all the kneeling down on my right knee for over 15 years on rear of van floor when reeling the reel hose in van has caused a swell on my right knee. must have caused damage . When kneeling down now it feels all squishy around my knee so thats not an option now. doctors tomorrow Looking on google Water on the Knee it says sometimes they will inject a needle into the knee to release any liquid.
Has anyone had any thing similar happen.

Get an electric reel asap. Hope the docs visit goes well and they can sort it painlessly.

Bet a few people were wondering what you were doing if they saw you reeling in. You could always buy trousers with the knee pads in them, once healed

Sorry to hear of your discomfort.
I can't see how you have to kneel to reel in a hose?

Here's a good lesson here for anyone starting out and planning a DIY van build.
Layout, ergonomics & mitigate risk or injury

Is it pure water with 000ppm on your knee

I've had this problem but I put it down t9 my stance when poleing windows. I put all my weight onto that knee. Ibuprofen helped alot and rest took around a month

I assume you have heard of the old phrase ‘sit down and put your feet up’?
I had water on the knee and was given this advice. When you are relaxing in an armchair after work, try to get your feet as high as possible.
This advice is also given to people with what’s known as ‘elephant ankles’, this is where the ankles swell up on people who are on there feet all day.

My brother-in-law is a plumber. His knees are shot from kneeling. They have told him he needs knee replacements, but they say he will have to give up working as a plumber after the operation/s.

I don't think you can kneel on the replacements!

im not so sure whether you can return to work or not . That guy painting his house was up a ladder -he also told me about his 2nd knee op,turned out the new knee joint was a tad too stiff so he had to go into hosp and lay on a bed ,that leg was then lashed into a machine that switched on and bent his knee up n down-for 2 days nonstop- at which point the joint had freed off a tad

@johnny bravo sounds like water on the knee to me mate but don't rely too much on doctor google. Hopefully they can drain it off and make it more comfy again for you. Good luck at the appointment buddy .

Think it’s what they used to call housemaids knee. I had it once. Sounds just like what you have. Went away on its own if I remember rightly

Warm wraps or water bottle for now. Keep off my right knee now. bent over reeling

Just use warm heat on knee hopefully it dissapears itself

Usually swelling requires ice not heat. Usually ice after work then heat before
