Knee swelling, often called water on the knee, can be chronic and debilitating. It can lead to a loss of motion in the knee and the ability to walk or stand too!

Sometimes doctors offer to drain the fluid in the knee to reduce the swelling. This can help with tolerating more standing, walking and can instantly increase mobility as well.

But is this a good thing to do?
Should you get your knee drained to help with knee pain?
What if that fluid is supposed to be there for a specific reason?
Why does the fluid build up again?

Dr. David answers all these questions about draining the water on the knee.
