How Effective Is Osteocerin In Treating Knee Pain?
Hi doctor, I have been suffering from knee pain for about 4 years and my doc says that the space is reduced. About 7months back he gave me a shot in my right knee.....I found it painful so this time he has given me osteocerin tablets for a month. How effective and safe is this medicine. Please advice. Thanks. Preeti aggarwal.

hello preeti,
You are having early osteoarthritis and there is not much treatment available for it, osteocerin though causes pain relief can not reverse the disease process. I have following suggestions.
1. avoid squatting and sitting cross leg.
2. static quadriceps exercises
3. do not use stairs and cycling too much.
4. calcium and vitamin D regularly
5. Etoricoxib 90 mg for pain relief
6 voletran ointment
7.arthroscopic debridement of the knee joint
