Inflammation of knees is painful and can often interfere with our ability to play sports or to exercise. Inflammation of knees is often chronic, which means we may get it many times over our lifetime, unless we take the proper measures to fix it. If you have a swollen knee, you have to remember that that is natures way of immobilizing the knee to prevent further injury.
What you should do is have plenty of rest. Rest takes the pressure off the joint and relieves the pain. If you elevate your leg, this will help reduce the swelling. You can of course see your doctor and get medication for the pain. But remember this. The COX 2 inhibitors, that doctors prescribed for arthritic type pain, have resulted in thousands of law suites being lodged against the major pharmaceutical companies.
Because of this, many people are now choosing to go the natural way to treat their inflammation of knees. The natural way is generally taking Omega 3 supplements, and if the pain is real bad, taking Omega 3 supplements in conjunction with the green lipped mussel powder put out by a New Zealand company. They have discovered a new way of processing this powder, which gives it greater anti-inflammatory properties
The Maoris of New Zealand were well known for the fact that they never suffered from joint pains. The scientists put this down to their diet which consisted of mainly seafood and shellfish, including the green lipped mussel. This diet of Omega 3 fatty acids has been proven over and over again to alleviate the swellings and the pain often associated with arthritic type diseases.
Another thing you can do is use a knee pad, this will protect your knee and keep it warm. One thing I would advise is that you seek the advice of a doctor before you start any type of home remedy. Only a qualified professional can diagnose the cause of your inflammation of knees, and recommend the best course of action.
