Q: If you injured your knee during a sporting event or other activity, stop immediately and rest the knee joint. If you have some range of movement in your knee, ask someone to help you walk to the nearest safe place to sit, and rest for as long as possible. Additional movement can further damage the knee joint. If you have no movement in your knee, visit the doctor immediately or contact emergency services, as it might be a broken or dislocated kneecap, which requires immediate medical attention. Placing ice on the knee will help to reduce pain and the effects of swelling. It’s best to leave the ice on for 30 minutes at a time. You can put ice on the locked knee every 3 or 4 hours for 2-3 days after the injury.  Refrain from applying heat to a knee injury until a doctor tells you it’s appropriate. Heat can cause more inflammation of the area and increase swelling, limiting your movement further. If the pain is recurring, you have arthritis, or you’ve injured the knee before, alternate between ice and heat to relax the muscles and joints after any swelling has gone down. Keeping the knee elevated will also help to reduce swelling and limit use of the knee. You can do this by placing a few pillows under your heel and knee while you are lying down. If you need to sit up or feel more comfortable that way, still keep the knee elevated out in front of you by propping it on a nearby chair or stool. Make sure your back and neck are properly supported to avoid injuring other areas of your body. using an elastic bandage. This will compress the knee joint and help to control swelling, which can cause pain and discomfort. You can find elastic bandages at most grocery stores in the health and wellness section, or get one from the nearest pharmacy. If you have one, you can use a neoprene “brace” made specifically for the knee joint instead of an elastic bandage. Make sure you aren’t wrapping the bandage too tightly. Be aware of circulation loss, and make sure you can comfortable put your finger between the bandage and the knee. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil and Motrin, generically known as Ibuprofen, and Aleve, also known as Naproxen, help to reduce swelling and manage pain. Follow the directions on the packaging to find dosage levels appropriate for you. You should only take these medications as needed, because they can have harmful side effects, such as risk for bleeding or the formation of ulcers. Always read and follow the package instructions for any medication before you take it. Treatments such as acupuncture, cortisone shots, or electrotherapy are very effective at alleviating pain for some certain patients. They can be cost effective and help you to feel your best quickly after an injury.  For example, if you struggle with ongoing swelling from your injury, electrotherapy might be a good option for pain management.  Acupuncture is normally used to enhance pain management while the patient is still participating in physical therapy and taking oral pain relievers.
A: Stop all activity and rest your knee. Ice the knee immediately. Elevate your knee above your heart. Wrap the knee Take NSAIDs to relieve pain and swelling. Ask your doctor about alternative forms of pain management.

Q: When you have rolled the piece of paper all the way around your tool, take it off. If you want a loose coil, put it down and let it loosen. Once the coil is as big or small as you want it, glue the tail. You should only apply a tiny amount of glue. Use a toothpick, paper piercing device, or T-pin to dab a small amount of glue on the inside side of the end of the paper (the tail). Hold for twenty seconds. Basic glue, such as Elmers, will work just fine for quilling. You could also try tacky glue, as it dries more quickly than basic glue. You could also try water-based super glue, which dries incredibly quickly and holds the paper well. If you do this or not will depend on the pattern you are following. You may want to pinch it into an eye shape for a leaf. You could also do a triangle for an ear. The possibilities are endless! Again, be very sparing with the glue--glue can make the paper soggy or warp your masterpiece. It is almost impossible to have too little glue. Remember to hold the pieces together for twenty seconds!
