I found a great flexible gel-pack at my local Walgreens. It has a neoprene "bandage" that it slides into and wraps around the knee, secured with velcro. I put it on my bad knee for about 20 minutes after every leg workout. It's a God send. No pain at all in the knee since I started doing this.

Here's an example: I.C.E. DOWN - Flexible -Ice cold therapy wrap - High quality Health Care

Option 1: Get a dixie cup, fill it with water and freeze it. Then, when you are done working out, peel back some of the dixie cup and do an ice massage on your knee (circular motion). You can how inflammed you are by how quickly the ice is melting.

Option 2: get a bag of ice, an ice pack of a bag of peas (or your favorite frozen vegetables), and lie down, elevating your legs (pillows work well). Place the ice bag on top and lie there for about 12-15min.

This method works very well for post vasectomy therapy. I'm just sayin'.
