   surgery to remove scar tissue and repair ligaments, or physical therapy.

   Don’t assume its arthritis unless your doctor has verified this. Has it been x rayed? If it is definitely arthritis then glucosomine sulphate tablets are good. You may one day need a replacement knee if it is bad but meanwhile, acupunture should deal with the pain issue.

   Stop doing what ever that was hurting your knee to start with, then go to a good orthopedic surgeon who specialize in the knee, have a scope done, he will be able to tell you the internal damage done and what treatment he could offer; I guess start taking some medication that help with healing of joints will help a little too.

   READ UP ON GLUCOSSOMINE
   IT DOES HELP.
   BUT CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR ALL PEOPLE.

   Surgery to repair or replace the joint may be needed if the joint pain is severe. You could check this site out http://aches.in/kneesurgery.html
