I have burning pain in my knee in middle of the night. Dr says arthritis. Anyone experience similiar symptoms?
She has diagnosed me and prescribed naproxin. My knee is slightly sore during the workday but wakes me out a sound sleep four to five hrs after I drop off. I injured the knee many years ago, but did not have any breaks only brusing. most of what I read seems related to RA and does not seem to apply to me. I am asking if anyone experiences this type of pain and been given the same answers? Heat and/or cold compresses do not seem to help much.

it very well could be arthritis. sometimes it expresses itself as burning pain, especially in the joints. knee joints are especially prone to arthritis so this doesnt surprise me at all. does the naproxen help you at all? if it does, it may be inflammation in the knee joint caused by arthritis. if hot and cold doesnt help, then maybe try other options such as in the hot tub or a hot bath. otherwise try asking your doctor for a prescription for celebrex, which is great for arthritis, and is stronger than naproxen. good luck!
IF YOU HAD A BOOD TEST FOR ARTHRITIS AND DOCTOR CONFURMED IT THROUGH BLOOD TEST,BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW UNTIL BLOOD TEST IS DONE, THEY CAN’T JUST LOOK AT YOU AND SAY THIS, IF THEY DID, GET ANOTHER OPIONION. I HEARD RED YEAST RICE, IT’S AND HERB IS HELPFUL FOR PAIN AS WELL AS RICE YOU MAKE AND EAT. WEIGHT MANAGMENT IS A MUST!
