Can I Use Tramadol For Crunching Sound And Chronic Pain In Knee?
I have chronic knee pain and a crunching sound on my right knee when I walk, it is worse when I got up stairs. The pain is unbearable to do stairs, and I cannot be on my feet for more than 30 minutes without residual throbbing for hours. Can I buy Tramadol online legally to treat this pain?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
The common caue for chronic pain is osteoarthritis and weight reduction is the main treatment. Life style modifications like avoiding sitting cross legged; squatting will decrease the rate of progression of osteoarthritis. Exercises like quadriceps strengthening, swimming; straight leg rising will help in improving the muscle strength around the knee and will help in decreasing pain.
My advice would be take glucosamine for your knee osteoarthritis, the recommended dose of glucosamine sulphate is 1500mg and chondroitin sulphate is 800-1200mg daily in divides doses. Glucosamine by nutralite is a good brand and with balanced composition. This is usually given for 3 months and then 6 months off after there is symptomatic improvement. This is not a pain killer so additional medicines are required for pain control and optimum joint activity.Ice fomentation along with tab.Tramalor/Tylenol 3 at bed time for better pain control.You should not use this medicine if you have recently used alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or other narcotic medications.
Since,tramadol is a opioid derivative you have to contact your local doctor or pain clinic for that.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Take care
