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.
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.
If you meant to ask how excess fluid that accumulates in your knee is drained...a nurse or a doctor drains it using a large syringe.
Fluid in the knee can be a possible cause for gangrene to set in. The knee should be drained of fluid by a medical professional to prevent the onset of gangrene.
Possibly, jump from a building to give it a try.
If you are thinking of doing this yourself DON'T! See your doctor and indeed they will use a needle to 'aspirate' (suck up the excessive water.) You should NEVER play around with this or you could get infection.
You can't as it is all bone or cartillage. If it swells, put ice on it, or have it drained, if it is really bad.
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.
The only way that you can tell that if your knee is going to be drained of fluid is by a doctor's opinion. If you feel a lot of fluid in your knees, you need to seek the opinion of your physician.
