Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I agree with this if you are able to do movements at your joint. The swelling/pain are due to effusion and it subside with time. Elevation helps in fastening the process.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
