Suggest Medication For Knee Pain Due To Osteoarthritis
I am currently diagnosed with knee OA. Initially the Doctor gave me painkillers like ultracet and arcoxia 90mg but they didn t work out well on me. Later taken celebrex 200mg twice daily and it works. I know such painkillers are not good for long term. Therefore, i would like to know whether is there any substitute to these medicines? Currently considering tablets like supplements to help with, maybe rumalaya forte from himalaya herbal healthcare. Please advise.

hello
I would suggest application of volini gel on knee 2-3 times a day-gentle rubbing for 5-10 minutes each time till it dries on skin.Local absorption is quicker after hot fomentation each time and may lessen the need for pain medicines.Rumalaya tabs is a good supplement.You may take plain paracetamol tab also.Use knee supports/knee cap during daytime
