Suggest Medication For Freeman Sheldon Syndrome
My 22 year old daughter has Freeman Sheldon syndrome. She often complains of one of her knees having pain and popping/cracking, especially after she has been on her feet for a long time. Besides just taking Ibuprofen for the pain and sometimes some swelling are there other joint meds she could take?

Hello,
In freeman sheldon syndrome there occurs muscle contractures,which leads to restricted range of motion and muscle imbalance.
So before treating the cause of pain we need to exactly diagonose the cause for the pai.
Your daughter needs to get a lower limb examination done along with a xray to look for muscle imbalance or bony changes which will help guide the further line of management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
