Brief Answer: There is possibility of osteoarthritis. Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. According to your symptoms and findings there is osteoarthritis of your knee. In homeopathic you can take Natrum-muratinium 200 single dose and Bryonia 30 Thrice daily for 3 days. You can start cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate, which you need to take for couple of months. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises. VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years.

I could not understand " Natrum-muratinium 200 single dose and Bryonia 30" Can you kindly write the medicines just like a prescription, it will help me to get it from the chemist and also please mention the dosage and howmany times a day. Sorry I am a little dull in understanding things. I will be happy if you do this.
