What are some things people use on their knees for arthritis pain?
Hi, everyone. i’m only 32 years old, but I was diagnosed with arthritis in both my knee caps 2 years ago. I was told by a specialist that my cushion is totally gone, and my knees look like the knees of 70 year old women, even though I was only 30. it is caused from a misalignment in my knee joint, which is heriditary. (my mom has it too). I typically avoid steps, as directed by my doctor, but only use biofreeze on my knees for pain, when needed. Since spring is here, I started becoming more active, and the pain is worse. I’m also going to Disney World in 2 months, and a lot of walking will be done. I’m trying NOT to pop a prescription med if possible. Thanks!!
I refused cortizone shots 2 years ago, since my mom had a lot of complications with hers.
WD-40? WTF….do we have some funny senior citizens around here?

The Dr. will tell you that you are to young but you can fight for a knee replacement. My friend had to at 40 and won, she is a completely different person now! If you don’t have a regular ortho have your doc refer you to one:)
I was going to suggest topical creams but you are already doing that and well they aren’t great but it better then nothing. Has your Dr. given you anything for this at all? How about cortisone shots? Anything?
The only thing I have against cortisone is that it you could injure yourself more by not feeling the pain. But I highly suggest if to our Fla trip! I don’t want to listen to you wine the whole time!
