Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

Last December I started with pain in my right knee. A couple of weeks later it came in to my left knee to. Firstly I went to the physio but that did no good. I finally went to the doctor as the pain was unbearable most days. I had xrays and ultrasound as she thought it was arthritis but doesn t appear to be. She gave me medication (Diclofenac twice daily and Cymbalta once a day). I have also seen a doctor in the city who works with sports injuries. Todate he is also baffled. My doctor is sending me to see a Doctor of Internal Medicine on August 17th. Hope he can help as it has been 8 months now. I saw an ad on the TV today for a drug and they mentioned liver and knee pain so I thought I would give you a try.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Your pain is due to Arthritis. When bone is not able to take weight due to arthritis than it has to be shared by muscles. It causes pain in thigh and calf muscles.
Also some time it can be due to nerve compression. You can judge your self. If your pain increases on walking and relieved with rest, it is suggestive of nerve related pain.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
