What Is The Best Remedy For Arthritis Pain In The Knee? Does It Really Normally Come And Go?

February 26th, 2010

I can’t determine which of what I’m doing makes the pain go away for days after it attacks for few days. I do therapy but it recurred. I put warm bag/warm compress on my lower back now and I use some natural therapy cream made of ginger, virgin coconut oil and peppermint which seems to have stopped the pain so far. I don’t know if it’s just the nature of arthritis that it stops then recurs at any given time and I don’t know anymore whether what i’m doing now is the one that makes the pain stop.

February 5th, 2010

My right knee has arthritis. The pain comes and goes. I love jogging and tennis but it just kills me. I hate to give those up but will if it gets too bad.
But is there any good knee braces on the market that might alleviate the pain and prevent more damage?

Can Anything Be Done About Knee Arthritis For An Athletic Teenager?

January 18th, 2010

So, my 17 year old daughter, who has been playing basketball for 10 years. She is 6′1″ and about 200 lbs. She’s been having problems with her knees swelling and a lot of pain. Well, I took her up to U of M to see an orthopedic surgeon who requested an MRI for her knees. The next day she called to say that my daughter has arthritis and that nothing could be done about it. Can this be true? She really wants to continue playing basketball when she goes to college, but the pain is getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an athlete?
