| How to Treat Jumper's Knee Posted: 18 Jul 2018 09:00 AM PDT Jumper's knee might feel like an inconvenience, but it's important to stay off of the knee and let it heal. Wrap the knee and take ibuprofen to reduce the swelling. If other conservative treatments such as elevating the knee or applying an ice pack don't improve your knee, get a medical diagnosis and treatment plan. Your doctor may suggest physical therapy, injections to manage the pain, or surgery. Once your knee has recovered, you can ease into exercises that will strengthen the supportive muscles. EditResting and Supporting the Knee - Rest the knee for at least 24 to 48 hours. Begin to rest the knee as soon as you notice pain or swelling. You'll need to stay off of the knee and let it rest for at least a day or two before you begin to use it again. Avoid playing high-impact sports or training while your knee is inflamed.[1]
- Most cases of jumper's knee will need several weeks or even months of treatment.
- Take ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. If your knee has swollen or you feel sharp pain, take ibuprofen for the first 24 to 48 hours. Anti-inflammatory medication can reduce swelling and relieve the initial pain.[2]
- Talk with your doctor about how long you should take ibuprofen to manage the pain.
- Apply an ice pack while you rest the knee. Press an ice pack or gel pack to your knee to reduce swelling and relive pain. Hold the ice pack over your knee for up to 10 minutes at a time. Do this once every hour until the swelling goes down.[3]
- If you have chronic jumper's knee, plan on applying an ice pack after exercising.
- Elevate the knee. If your knee is painful or you're resting it, raise it up. Try stretching out so you can place pillows or cushions underneath your knee. When you elevate your knee, gravity will help move fluid away from the knee, which can reduce swelling.[4]
- Wrap the knee with a support or strap. Buy a knee strap and wrap it right under your knee. Wrap it several times so it supports the muscle right beneath your kneecap. The wrap will relieve some of the pressure on your muscle, which can relieve pain and make the muscle heal faster.[5]
- Knee straps are also called infrapatellar straps or Cho-pat straps. You can buy them in most pharmacies or medical supply stores.
EditGetting Medical Treatment - Diagnose the severity of your jumper's knee. Your doctor will watch you run, jump, kneel, and move your knee to determine the level of your injury. The doctor will grade your jumper's knee from 1 to 5. Grades 1 and 2 are mild injuries, but grade 5 represents severe and constant pain.[6]
- The doctor may order an X-ray or MRI before making a diagnosis.
- The doctor will use the diagnosis to create a treatment plan for your knee. Low level injuries will improve with rest and support, while a more severe diagnosis will need more intensive treatments.
- Try massage therapy or electrotherapy for mild jumper's knee. Studies show that professional therapies, such as massage or electrotherapy, help knee tendons heal. Ask your doctor if you'd benefit from massage therapy or electrotherapy along with a rehabilitation program.[7]
- Get Aprotinin injections. If you have severe jumper's knee that isn't feeling better after you've had mild treatments, you might need injections to relieve pressure and inflammation in the knee. The doctor will inject aprotinin directly into the inflamed tendon, which will desensitize the nerves and relieve pain.[8]
- Consider surgery for severe jumper's knee. If your knee doesn't improve after trying most treatments, the doctor will recommend removing damaged tissue from your knee. The surgeon can repair the tendon and your knee should heal better because blood supply to the knee is improved.[9]
- In most cases, you can return home soon after the surgery is completed.
EditExercising to Strengthen the Knee - Stretch your quadriceps muscles. If your doctor recommends that you exercise as part of a rehabilitation program, you'll probably need to stretch the quadriceps muscles in front of your thighs. Try one of these stretches:[10]
- Do the hip flexor stretch by putting one knee on the ground and the other foot in front so the knee is bent. Push your hips forward while you keep your back straight.
- Hold your ankle and pull the leg behind you toward your back. You should feel a gentle stretching in your quadriceps muscles. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds and release it.
- Begin basic strength training. Once your knee no longer feels painful, start simple exercises to contract and relax your quadriceps. Stand or lay down and pull your knee towards your chest. Hold your knee for 5 seconds before you slowly release it. Do 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each knee.[11]
- You can eventually work up to holding the knee for 10 seconds. Do 4 sets of 12 repetitions for each knee once you feel comfortable.
- Use a leg extension machine for more strength training. If you're not comfortable with putting weight on the knee while you exercise, sit down and use the leg extension machine. Extend a single leg with light resistance and try to do 3 sets with 10 repetitions when you start out.[12]
- Work up to 3 sets of 10 to 12 repetitions once your knee feels stronger.
- Do eccentric squats on raised heels. Stand against a slanted foam roller or board so your heels are raised up at the back. Slowly squat down and then stand up a little quicker. Put your weight on the good knee instead of the knee that's healing. Do 3 squats 10 times a day when you start out.[13]
- Work your way up to 3 squats 15 times a day.
- Always work with your doctor or physical therapist to determine a specific exercise and rehabilitation program for you.
- If you feel pain or inflammation during any exercise, immediately stop and rest the knee.

| How to Wash a Rayon Shirt Posted: 18 Jul 2018 01:00 AM PDT Rayon is a semi-synthetic fabric made from wood pulp. Some rayon garments must be dry-cleaned, while others can be hand-washed. EditCleaning Rayon - Check the fabric care tag. Some rayon fabrics have been treated, which allows them to be hand-washed. However, untreated, or viscose, rayon should not get wet, so it needs to be dry cleaned. Check the fabric care tag to see what the garment is made of and what instructions say. If the tag says "dry clean only," then take the shirt to the cleaners instead of washing it.[1]
- Avoid using the washing machine. Rayon is a delicate fabric that shrinks easily, so you'll need to wash rayon items by hand. Though you may be tempted to simply toss the shirt in with your next load, avoid doing this or your garment will likely be ruined.[2]
- Pretreat stains with a mild stain-remover. Choose a product made for use on delicate fabrics such as rayon. Spray or rub the stain-remover onto soiled areas, such as the cuffs of the sleeves or the underarm areas.[3]
- Add a drop or 2 of mild detergent to a sink or basin. If you are using a sink, be sure to put the stopper in first. Harsh detergents can damage this fabric, so it's best to stick with a mild variety, like liquid castile soap. You only need a drop or 2 per garment, otherwise the rayon will become saturated with soap and may be itchy or uncomfortable to wear.[4]
- Avoid using any acidic detergents or cleaners, which could stain the fabric.
- Fill the sink or basin with cold water. Cold water will prevent the fabric from shrinking and the color from bleeding. Swirl the water around to distribute the soap and create bubbles.[5]
- Soak the shirt in the soapy water for 30 minutes. Completely submerge the garment in the water. Let it soak for 30 minutes, and try not to agitate the water too much. You can use your fingers to rub the areas where you applied the stain-treatment product to remove the dirt and grime. After 30 minutes, remove the stopper from the sink, if applicable.[6]
- Rinse the shirt with cool water. Lift the shirt out of the sink or basin and rinse it under cold, running water. Keep rinsing the entire shirt until you don't see any more bubbles in the water. Concentrate on the areas where you applied the stain-treatment product to be sure it gets rinsed out.[7]
EditDrying Rayon - Avoid using the clothes dryer. Drying rayon will surely cause your shirt to shrink! The fabric can also become worn by rubbing against rougher items in the dryer, such as denim. Instead of using the dryer, you'll need to air dry rayon items.[8]
- Lay the shirt flat on a towel and roll it up to remove excess water. Avoid wringing out the excess water, which will scrunch up the fabric and leave you with a wrinkled shirt. Instead, lay a dry towel on a flat surface and place the shirt on top of it. Starting at 1 end, roll the towel up with the shirt inside. This will help remove excess water without damaging the fabric.[9]
- Allow the shirt to air dry. You can lay the shirt flat on a clean, dry surface, or you can hang it up. If you hang it, place a towel underneath the shirt to catch drips. If you lay it flat, flip it over every few hours. Allow 24 hours for the fabric to dry completely before you plan to wear the shirt again.[10]
- Avoid putting on hairspray or perfume when wearing rayon, as the droplets could stain the fabric.[11]
