Knee pain relief????
My mother is 65 and weighs about 170 lbs. She suffers from knee pain on her right knee. She has seen arthritis doctors, and, so far, they have not been able to help her. I don’t think that she actually has arthritis.
I understand that if she looses some weight then maybe she’d get some relief but she can’t really do any exercise because of the pain. Its a vicious cycle.
Does anyone know of any OTC pain relief that works on this kind of pain? Or even a supplement that could help her?
pain in the knees can be deeply distressing! footballers suffer with this they tie up their knees with bandage one of my actor friends specializes in physical theater and has problems with his knees he says that he has water in them. he has to have this juice sucked out with a needle! i know yuk but after he feels fine so perhaps she has water in the knee basic leg excesses and calcium supplements get her to drink some more milk and eggs this is good for her health at her age as well as bones!!!
did they do xrays of her knees? xrays would diagnose any arthritis that she may have.
lets see here, you could try some glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM supplements. that helps to relubricate the joints and decrease pain. theres a pain reliever out there called KneeRelief. It works pretty well for my knee pains (I have bad arthritis in my left knee from an injury as a child)
Have they tried cortisone shots in the knee? sometimes that helps to decrease pain.
It could be fluid on the knee like your other answer said but the knee would be swollen. Did she see an orthopedic doctor? I know u said she saw arthritis doctors, but an orthopedist may be able to help.
