Yeah, agreed, that's part of the reason I suggested the more new fangled compression wraps specific for the knee that can hold an ice pack. 10 wheels also had a great suggestion above, or a moderate compression/support knee brace will help as well.

Yeah, also agreed, an Ace can be difficult to get proper compression with, it's usually either too much (most likely!), or not enough. A foundation wrap underneath can help a lot though. This is a nonelastic padding wrapped, and then the Ace over the top of that. It can help prevent pinch spots from bunching or overcompressing the joint.
