Suggest Medication For Knee Pain

Good evening sir: it s been over ten years with double arthrocsopies, R and L knees and 3 herniated discs. Pain at 63 years of age can be debilitating as to any enjoyment needless to say. Over this tine I ve had oxy and the rest and the just take the edge off the pain making it bearable to go out. That s it short and sweet and also two rotator cuff tears one on either side. There you have it. Subsolv at 5.7/1.4 I think 3xs a day helps keep my attention elsewhere......so since I ve had much experience except ketamine which my son, who studied pharmacology at Rutgers and says you do not have to inject it but must be compounded might be an alternative. What sat ye sir?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Keratin is not for pain relief. Was your Rotator cuff tear repaired?
Do you have x Rays of your knee?
If its very painful, I need to see x Rays. If pain is occasional, then physiotherapy exercises and lifestyle changes will be enough for you.
