    Sometimes, you don't have to do anything.  Cold and damp weather are my knees worst enemies.  The lemongrass eo is a good remedy. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis last summer, and now I know why my knees will swell and be painful for no reason.  You may want to check with an Ortheopedic to find out exactly what your issue is.

    I also found these wonderful patches from a company called "Naturopatch of Vermont" last year.  They are made with olive oil, arnica, cayenne, rosemary, lemongrass and ginger essential oils.  Their phone is 800-340-9083 and website is www.naturopatch.com

    Or, you could attempt your own mixture of these wonderful oils and you will see how wonderful it works to minimize the pain and the swelling.  Not just on your knees, but most parts of the body these will work on.

    Good luck.

    Knee Swelling Peppermint and Lavender Oils

    If that were me, I would hit the ER and fast! For it would be a sign,
    for me now, that I had clots in my knee and leg.

    I would not let them give me aspirin or anti clotting meds. They are
    actually worse than the health problem. Taking vitamin E capsules for
    myself only. I would take 2,000iu a day. I don't remember what the
    average dose is, but I am way over average size. I would also keep the
    leg elevated above the heart, as much as possible. Something else that I
    do here, is to rub in creams, lotions or the like with vitamin E oils in
    them or alone. I vary what I do for the rub. Even to just massaging the
    knee and leg as much as possible.

    One other thing to consider. Are you breathing harder or panting, with
    the same amount of exercise?

    Now, since I scared you, as I was, when first diagnosed with blood clots
    in my leg and lungs. I'm wondering if you might have an embolism in the
    knee. My cousin was just operated on for that, in his knee. Also, you
    might have been stung by something. hey, ever know.

    Now, I am not trying to scare you, but trying to educate you about what
    might have happened. So if you have health insurance or can otherwise
    get treated. You might want to hobble into the docs office or ER and get
    checked out. Chances are, they will order an Ultrasound of your leg and
    knee, maybe even a CT scan or MRI. Better safe than sorry. At least then
    they could maybe eliminate what is wrong. I'm hoping you just twisted
    the knee somehow, when you weren't aware of it. For they don't always
    manifest themselves, for awhile.

    Again, I only said what happened to my cousin and myself above. I am not
    prescribing any course of action or meds.
