How Can Severe Pain In The Knee And Lower Back Be Treated?
I have really bad knee pain from a replacement on left knee and needing a replacement on right knee w/ chronic pain an inflammation on both knees. Also my lower back is killing me- think maybe a nerve (shooting pain when I walk or turn a certain way. Just wondering if this medicine will help. Friend got it for me from his doctor when he went on vacation. I have no insurance and it’s getting very hard to walk @ work- which is 95% of my job. I’m just in so much pain when I walk. No problem driving, until I step out of truck. It’s getting very difficult to get out of bed in morning. Thank you for any advice

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
