    So, the side of right knee has been stiff for about 2 and half weeks now. I've trying to take it easy and apply heat wraps, but it just seems to stay stiff.

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Did you have a specific injury to your knee or has this bothered you before?

    No, I think its just over use. I've been using heat and rest. Its getting better now, it was just odd, usually when I get a stiff joint if I let it rest for a few days I'm fine, but this just kept coming back

    Usually, we recommend ice for joint issues- particularly in the first 72 post-injury or post-stress. Analgesics and sports rubs can help with inflammation.

    If this persists after self-treatment, see you doctor for further testing.
