Suggest Medication For Severe Knee Pain
I have an opiate addict as a client and am looking for alternatives to opiate based pain relief. He has a tear on the underneath side of his meniscus on his left leg and his patella is offset to some degree according to his Nurse practitioner. What is you opinion about White Willow Bark and will it be strong enough to handle his knee pain?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
