@rickraleigh, @nipahl, I am going to try to add something that is part of my life right now. In fact, I am having another guided image aspiration tomorrow on my right knee. That one will have to have a TKR relatively soon. However, to keep me going right now, my orthopedic folks are draining my "small cantaloupe" every couple of weeks. In between the aspirations, my MFR therapist is pushing the fluid up into my upper leg at which time you can pee it out.

I then make sure I am using ice to keep it from filling up right away. One more thing....do you know how to do "legs up the wall". That is a yoga pose in which you place your behind against the wall and lift your legs straight up. You can move your feet around and your toes up and down. This too will force the fluid into your pelvic area and then it can be dispersed. You can find images on you tube.

Best to stay ahead of the cantaloupe.
May you be content and at ease.
Chris
