Swelling behind knee

You're probably doing this, but ice and elevating the knee well above the heart are critical to reduce swelling. Tylenol helps me too but ice/elevate is the key.

Does the swelling interfere with anything? Is there any pain and if so, where?

Stay strong.

A quick question ... did you ice the incision or behind / side of the knee?

Good point, Joe, about the ice and elevation. But I wonder -- how does the ice and elevation affect the swelling? Does it help, and if so, for how long?
