Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain While On Levaquin
After 6 days of taking Levaquin, it became very painful to walk due to pain in knees. Had X-rays taken & It came back as osteoarthritis. Do I treat it with cold compresses or alternating heat & cold!? They are very swollen & extremely painful...will Motrin help?

Hello,
In osteoarthritis, there is inflammation of knee joint. So Motrin that contain ibuprofen will help in relieving inflammation of knee joint.
So you can take ibuprofen along with antacid coverage.
For joint repair, I suggest taking Cartisafe D like a tablet.
Physiotherapy and weight reduction will also help.
You can consult orthopedic surgeon for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
