Treatment:

RICE PROTOCOL

• Rest – Walking will be painful, so it’s best to avoid putting pressure on the injured knee and limiting activity while inflammation persists.
• Ice – Ice should be applied for the first 48 to 72 hours or until the swelling subsides for 10 to 20 minutes no more than once per hour. Use of a barrier, such as a towel, is strongly advised to protect your skin. Heat should be avoided while inflammation is developing; once the swelling goes down, heat can help soothe the pain.
• Compression -– Using a compressing wrap can help significantly decrease swelling. Ensure that the wrap is snug; however, if there is numbness, tingling, or swelling above or below the wrap, it’s probably on too tight and needs to be loosened.
• Elevation – Raising the knee above the heart level for a few hours a day can aide tremendously in decreasing swelling.
