Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

Hi .. My husband is having pain in his knee. We consulted a doctor. He told us that the pain is due to gap in knee bones. Due to lessening of bone due to internal tensions between bones. The doctor prescribed some medicines and asked him not to bend his knee. And use ice for messaging. Still there is no difference in pain. Can u please suggest something

Hi,
The gap reduction between the knee joint is not possible without surgical procedure. but you can manage the pain:
You can take hot and cold therapy for 20 mins every 4 hrs.
Do isometric or some weight bearing knee exercises for strengthening of the knee muscles so that they could bear the body weight.
if he is obese then reduce the body weight.
Take physiotherapy to restore the range of motion.
Do massage with oil over knee joint.
use knee brace.
if he is over weight then should walk with stick.
You can take steroid injections.
Take medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen but not for long use.
If he is unable to walk for even 40 steps get knee replace.
If he doesn't get relief than consult the ortho.
