The rice method rice stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest. Avoid putting weight on the painful knee. Ice. Use cold packs for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Do not apply ice directly on skin. Compression. To prevent additional swelling, lightly wrap the knee in an elastic bandage, leaving a hole in the area of the kneecap. Make sure that the bandage fits snugly and does not cause additional pain. Elevation. As often as possible, rest with your knee raised up higher than your heart. Medication non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) such as ibuprofen and naproxen can help reduce swelling and relieve pain. If you pain persists or it becomes more difficult to move your knee, contact your doctor for a thorough evaluation. Prevention quad extension exercise leg extension exercises help to strengthen and stretch the quadriceps, the muscles in the front of the thigh.
