swollen knee | Arthritis Information

Hi!  I have seen this discussed before, however I do not recall the remedy for it.  It started yesterday and it is quite painful.  I have tried to keep it elevated and it helps with pain, but not the swelling. 
What to do?  Thanks!

Meds:  Plaquinil, mtx, prednisone 5 mg. folic acid, naproxen.

I am sorry to hear of the swollen knee, GG.
 
I had a swollen knee last week.  Elevation and a cold pack helped the most.  That and vicodin.  Hope you feel better tomorrow.i hope you knee gets to feeling better.  keep us posted.   try therma care heat wraps.  they are wonderful!!!i have tried ice, but it doesn't work for me.  Puting my legs up does help some, but not a bunch either.
 
I wish there were foods out there to help us all:(
 
I hope you get better soon, don't stress, you might make yourself worse.
