Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Pain And Stiffness In The Knees Be Treated?
I was told i have little cartridge in my knee. Can t afford knee replacement but heard there s supplements you can take that will help with inflammation, stiffness and some pain relief and even help with rebuilding cartridge. Only problem is I m a little allergic to shell fish which is one of the ingredients. I can t eat shell fish but read where it s made from the outer shell of them. My question is, is there something I can take that will be just as good?
Chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine combines tablets every day for 3 months . This can be repeated once every 6 months which will help reduce your knee pain.
However a more practical suctioning be to reduce weight and const physiotherapist to strengthen muscles around knee joints.
Hope this helps Regards Dr.N.Ananth
