Suggest Treatment For Burning Discomfort In Both Knees
Question: Hello! I am seeking help for my husband who has suffered from undiagnosed, chronic pain for 7 years. It began as tired achy feet, which turned into burning discomfort in both knees, and continues to evolve into new pain. He has seen many specialists from orthopedic, neurologist, arthritis, chiropractic, alternative types and he continues to suffer without any relief from his pain.
It is not fibromyalgia. The closest thing to a diagnosis is presently treating with humira for possible spondyloarthritis, however after six weeks of treatment there has been no relief.
Every doctor, every x-ray, MRI, has shown husband to be very healthy. He treats for hypothyroidism, but other than that he has no health issues that has been detected.
