   Hot baths, bend-straighten-bend-straighten. With a gentle massage.
   Not too rough, don’t want to damage anything inside.

   Icy hot patches work amazingly with pain, and last for a while.

   Ice it for 15 minutes on and off, when you feel theres inflammation/swelling.

   Tape it- start at top, leave middle open, tape around bottom.
   This gives it nice support, for doing activities.

   Keep elevated when sitting/laying.
   Rest!!!
   Hope that helps(:

   Diabetes can cause arthritis problems. Check your blood sugar.

   Exercise is the number one recommended thing for knee arthritis. One of the best types of exercise is warm water exercise.

   Omega 3 fatty acid supplements can help.

   Keeping off excess weight is important.
