Draining water from the knee is a medical issue that a doctor must perform. Doing it yourself should never be attempted.
To drain your knee, a doctor can perform a procedure called knee aspiration. This involves using a needle to remove excess fluid from the knee joint, which can help reduce pain and swelling. It's important to have this procedure done by a medical professional to avoid complications.
No. Once you have fluid in your knee you can only have a medical physician drain the fluid. It's not a big deal if you have fluid in your knee unless you are experiencing pain in your knee.
Why would you do that?!
A fluid drain on the knee can be a long recovery. Depending on the physical health of the patient, the fluid drain can take a few months to one year to fully recover from.
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.
You don't do it your self. Go to an er room and have a doc do it.
This could be a sign of a condition called knee effusion, where excess fluid builds up in the knee joint. It is important to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They may recommend rest, ice, elevation, and possibly draining the excess fluid from the knee.

Aspiration is the removal of fluid from the body by suction so if something is aspirated fluid is drawn off by suction, for example excess fluid around the knee joint is often removed by inserting a needle into the inter-capsular space and the excess fluid drawn off.
The medical term for the removal of fluid from the knee joint is arthrocentesis or joint aspiration. It is a procedure performed to relieve pain and swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in the knee joint.
Suprapatellar joint effusion is the accumulation of excess fluid in the space above the patella (kneecap) within the knee joint. This can be a sign of inflammation, injury, or underlying medical conditions affecting the knee joint. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, and limited range of motion in the knee.
it could mean that your bursa(not sure how spelled) in your knee is swollen. they are there to protect your knee cap and normally have fluid in them. if you hit your knee on something really hard then it could have caused your bursa sack to swell up to protect the knee cap. normally, it just hurts for a little but you can still do things on it, it wont matter.
