I am taking ice bath four times a day, have replaced my footwear to a softer one and doing the knee press and foot front & back exercise twice daily but no relief for the past 45 days, please suggest a permanent remedy.

Hello,
If your pain is with swelling and in both lower limbs then there are some other reasons for that like:
- Anemia
- Lung or heart disorders
- Kidney problems
- Fibromyalgia
- Rheumatic arthritis
In that case, I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and get yourself investigated. But if pain is only at knee then you should do following to have relief:
- Avoid frequent up or down on stairs.
- Avoid cross leg positions.
- Start doing some exercises like quadriceps strengthening exercises.
- Take a mild analgesic off and on like advil for relief from pain.
- Apply a local analgesic ointment and do warm water fomentation with water bag over the knee.
- Take some preparations like glucosamine, chondroitin or collagen preparations.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
