Yes, but expect to get a horrific infection that will probably cost you your leg. The "water" on the knee is an accumulation of fluid in and around the knee joint and is a bit deeper than you think and not always drainable. Also, since you are not a doctor, your diagnosis of "water on the knee" could be incorrect. A doctor would know best.

How often can you have your knee drained?

No. I have a significant fear of needles and had my knee drained of fluid followed by a cortisone injection. The doctor used a freeze/numbing spray on my knee topically and then injected the knee with some type of anesthetic. The only minor pain I felt was the injection for the anesthetic. I did not feel any pain while the fluid was being drained or the cortisone shot administered.

You might have torn a ligament at that time. I tore 3 ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL), and got fluid in it. You can have it drained at your family physican. My friend had hers drained. I have heard that its painful, but I never had mine drained. Just something to think about.
