Suggest Treatment For Osteoarthritis

I have had ACL reconstruction surgery around 2 years back. My age is 45. Although I am actively involved in sports and exercising regularly my doctor told me that I have developed osteoarthritis and advised me to take Orcerin GM. Should I take Orcerin continuously or only when there is pain

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you developed early osteoarthritis of knee joint. You are taking orcerine Gm( Diacerine and glucosamine combination). These are disease modifying agents for osteochondritis of knee joints. These are to be taken regularly. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen whenever required. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
