hello,
thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you can cure the fusion of your knee by using the following measures:
keep the leg elevated above heart level
take anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal medication such as ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day
In the next 2 to 3 weeks don't use the leg too much but the rest most of the time.
if no success the doctor can aspirate with a needle the fluid in your knee.
I wish you quick recovery .
