Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain Due To Degenerative Disease
My fiance was recently diagonosed with degenerative disease in one knee. He has been to the dr who said aside from injections in his knee all he can do is stay active and take over the counter meds for pain. He is very active , his job is very physical and he has taken meds, bought a knee brace and using different kinds of ointments for his knee and still no relief. Is there anything you can suggest ,to help releve his pain ?

Hi,
Thanks for your query
I suggest you to do regular knee exercises. Avoid squatting and stair climbing as much as possible. Take diet rich in calcium and vit d.you can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this helps you.
Warm regards
