Ice, elevation, rest and anti-inflammatories...if no better in a couple of days, to the doc

Hi,

I have had swelling around the knee after exertion. You really need to rest it for a good couple of days, with ice (not directly on the skin) and as the other poster said some ibuprofen or similar NSAID's.
