I sprained my knee, anyone know anything else about sprains?!
Question: we went to the doctor, he said i sprained it and irrated the knee lining so there is some fluid in there. he didn't drain it cuz he said it was bad enough. i did it wednesday and it is saturday (got it checked thursday) and it is still pretty swolen, very stiff, sore and now my calf muscles feel like they are really tight. i've been taking ibuprofen and icing it and elevating. how long til it will get better and is there anything at home i can do to speed this process up?

it depends on you and if you stay off your feet. the longer your stay off your feet the better your leg will heal.
idk...call your doctor
