Last year, just before Christmas, I began to be troubled by fluid in my knee accompanied by painful swelling. The problem came at a time when a visit to the doctor was very inconvenient, so a friend told me how to get rid of the fluid in my knee using a home remedy.
Home remedy
My friend found an interesting compress that supposedly works great for these problems, and although at first I thought she was joking, I tried it – and I should warn in advance that this is not expert advice but my personal experience.
Allergies
I don’t suffer from any allergies or other skin problems, so if you do suffer from any, you’d better try it in advance on your forearm – like when you test hair dye, especially if you have very sensitive skin.
After the first application I felt only a very slight improvement; you have to persist, but in my case it paid off.
Recipe
The original recipe called for honey and mustard, but I tried only a pure mustard compress and it worked – ask the older people around you; my grandmother told me this recipe is an old and well-known remedy.
How to do it?
It’s simple – always apply it to the entire sore, swollen knee before bed and wrap it.
Leave it on overnight and wash thoroughly in the morning.
I don’t know how it works, but it helped me.
Result
The swelling disappeared and the pain went away too.
However, the knee needs to be rested; I recommend avoiding heavy exertion — sports and similar activities — for another week after improvement.
I was overjoyed that I didn’t have to go to the doctor to drain the fluid from my knee.
