Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Knee

My husband has suffered from osteoarthritis in his right knee for a few years. Recently he had severe pain in the knee. Now I notice his right foot has discolorations, which look like small blotches or the kind of closed sore I ve seen in shingles. He says his foot feels like it has a tack in it. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to osteoarthritis.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication for the pain such as Ibuprofen.

I also suggest using anti-inflammatory cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
