Hey Ameenkhan, sorry to hear this bad news. I think you should pay more attention to your knee so that it can heal faster. In my experience, cold compresses are effective in reducing swelling. At first I used an ice pack. I ordered two big ones, and my mother even wrapped it around her thigh. But they are a bit cumbersome to use and you have to freeze again and again. I find that my arthritis is persistent and I may need something more convenient. Until I checked knee ice machine on the advice of the doctor. It is more convenient than the ice pack. I chose a pad that fits my knees. It can completely and completely wrap my knees and provide 5 hours of continuous freezing.
