We cannot issue a prescription to you .
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well, if you are having rheumatoid arthritis then you need to be on proper medication for that . Taking NSAIDS like etodolac , meloxicam etc., can harm your kidneys . They should only be used for short term . Also you just mention of problem in your knees while in rheumatoid hand joints , wrists etc are invariably involved . So we need to have a diagnosis first then only appropriate pain killers and other medicines can be suggested . I feel you are having Knee osteoarthritis on basis of your complaints . So I would request you to please send your complaints in detail so that we can help you out in best possible way. Plus we cannot issue any prescription .
Take care.
