6 Knee Pain Treatments
Apply Ices
If the knee pain is caused by injuries and inflammation, then cold therapy might be effective in alleviating the symptom. You can use veggies in a freezer, frozen gel pack, ice cubes, or crushed ice to reduce swelling and pain. Ice would help constrict blood vessels on the surface of the skin, thus reducing blood flow and controlling inflammation. This treatment is especially helpful for meniscus or ligament tearing, which causes throbbing and sharp pains. Just place those packs in the affected area for around 15 minutes. Do it 3 to 4 times each day until the pain disappears. Make sure to wrap ices in a cloth to prevent skin irritation or frostbite. [10]
