I injured the knee in 8th grade (I’m 31 now). It keeps fluid on it and the arthritis that has set up in it is just gradually getting worse. It has taken to trying to pop out of place lately too. When it pops it is usually pretty loud and then I have to kind of stand there for a few seconds and move it gently to get it comfortable to walk on again. I use a cold rice pack and Tylenol Arthritis. That’s all I have. Is there anything else I can do for it?
I can’t take Ibuprofen, Aleve, Excedrin or really anything other than Tyenol (acetaminophen) Can’t even use Aspercream.
Also, I have seen a doctor for it. He said the arthritis is bad for my age but didn’t prescribe either drugs or therapy.

i used to work for an Orthopedic Dr. as an M.A.
Have you been to a doctor for this problem? if it bugging you that much you may have to see one. If you want to avoid the Doc I would use an Anti-inflammatory to get rid of some of the discomfort. Also, i would get an ace wrap to go around your knee to keep it more stable. An orthopedic doctor may order a special brace for you if needed.
hmm okay. i would call back the doctor and ask him what he thinks you should do then, because you are obviously in pain, P.T. and a brace may be the best for you then. If you can stand shots, or are not allergic to Cortisone then i would get the shot. The last resort is a total knee replacment depending how old you are, but you shouldnt have to need that! =)
I wish you the best of luck
