Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have bad pain in my knees. It stated in November and has progressively gotten worse. Its painful to walk or stand on my feet. Now even when I m laying in bed it hurts real bad, keeping me up at night. I know it may be some form or artheris but what can I do beside taking medication.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed either to musculo-skeletal injury or inflammation of the joint- Osteoarthritis. X ray of the knee joint will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress. Wishing a Good Health. Take care.
