Hello to everyone who’s hurting. Last year, shortly before Christmas, I started having trouble with water in my knee (it began with a subtle pain and ended with a knee as big as a melon) and because I was away from home, I didn’t want to deal with a visit to the emergency room – that was only a last resort.

A friend “Googled” a compress for me that supposedly helps with these problems and although at first I thought she was joking, I tried it – and I warn in advance that this is not any professional advice, but my own experience. I also don’t have any allergies or other skin problems, so if you do, it’s better to test it on your forearm first – like when you test hair dye, especially if you have very sensitive skin.

After the first application I felt only very slight improvement; you have to persevere but in my case it paid off.

In the original recipe there was honey and mustard, but I tried only a pure mustard wrap and it worked – ask the older people around you, my grandmother immediately dismissed my description of this remedy, saying it’s an old well-known thing. 
 

How to do it?

It’s simple: always before sleeping, rub the entire sore, swollen knee and wrap it. Leave it on overnight and wash well in the morning. I don’t know how it works, but it helped me. The swelling disappeared and the pain went away . But you should protect the knee — I recommend avoiding heavier exertion for another week after improvement – sports and the like. I was overjoyed that I didn’t have to go to the doctor to drain the water from my knee.
