Really bad knee pain, any ideas?

Living on the first floor with no steps really helps.....

Stop giving head to overweight businessmen in the alleyways behind bars.

Take Stinging Nettle. Available at any health food store or GNC. All natural effective anti inflamitory. I too suffer from knee pain from an old injury. Nothing works better for me than stinging nettle. Start with two capsules with a full glass of water. Guaranteed relief!!

Or try to put your weight on the other knee if you must.

Gout or Rheumatioid arthritis, need blood work to figure out which... then i can tell you how to treat it

bone marrow transplant?

Aids. It's definately Aids.

My mate Dave had the same thing, and he was stone dead by the end of the week.

...Aids...

I have a brace for every joint in my body...may go a couple of years without using a single one but they work great for when I need them...

Torn Meniscus - you will need arthroscopic surgery to repair it, as the meniscus is cartilage without circulation and cannot heal itself.

Been there, experienced that - the pain will drive you to the surgical solution, which will indeed make it all better. Except for healing the small arthro incisions, you will come out of surgery essentially pain-free and ready to run a marathon. Seriously.

Sounds a bit serious.



Check with the professionals.


But I use Epsom salt soaks and/or hot wash cloth wrap.



get some epsom salt $5.00 bucks at any rite-aid, cvs or what ever.


follow the directions, I add more but you should check with a doctor first.



good luck.


Also other suggestions in the thread.


get a crutch to take weight off it.

get a splint or support for the joint itself.




try the cheapest thing first then work your way through the list, keep a journal of what works.

other herbal remedies.

Go to the doctor...

Hemp creme from MM supplier.

True, but I have a two story house.

Hey, I gotta make a living.

NO NO NO.


check with your doctor first. and get second opinion.


Surgery is the last LAST LAST LAST choice you should consider.


Complications from surgery are quite common.

Surgery is usually expensive, and only recommended for monetary gain by the surgeons and hospitals.


Try all the methods you can do by yourself first.


Cutting during surgery will create scar tissue which will need cut out again after a few years. (thus the hamster wheel of income for the hospitals)

Yeah, probably RA, I have the markers for it.

I don't know about the torn Meniscus. I'm thinking more Bakers cyst. I want to avoid surgery totally.

can you make it so the only rooms upstairs are unused or Not used daily?



ie

Using a brace. Helps a little, at least I don't feel like I'm falling apart!

Will try the Epsom salts.

I'd rather not. I find the cure is often worse than the pain.

FLAX SEED OIL FOR RA

[link to www.livestrong.com]

Not really. I can stay off the second floor, but my laundry room is in the basement. Lots of stairs : (

Yeah, that sounds more like the direction I'd go.

I've seen many bad results from knee surgery. And knee replacement? I'd never do that. And you're right about the hamster wheel.

Thank you all for the replies! This is why I love GLP :)

OP i must disclaim, check with your doctor. (even though i hate most doctors with thier pills and unneeded surgeries)

yeah, you can just get hot water in a bowl with a wash cloth, put the epsom salt in, and then take hot salt wash cloth and apply directly to the knee. repeat as needed.


or just do a bath with the salts in the bath water.






Flax oil may be helpful too.


My experience is with an Multiple Sclerosis Patient and My own body.


The combination of the Flax oil (usually eaten with potatoe, or vegetable stir fry or other recipe available all over internet) has improved the MS patients overall quality of life 30% or more. WOW that is pretty good for a few bucks worth of salt and oil every month.



Good luck. My first inclination from you Original post is that this is a pretty serious problem.


You should be very careful and try eveything slowly and pay very close attention to what is working.





Also, you must improve your diet. if it is not good.


cut out meats or at least NO red meat for a month. Eat whole Apple, Fruits, Steamed Potatoe or Rice or Soy Bean or other whole Food.

Nothing from a can or a box for 3 months.


Trust your self only. If what I say doesn't jive with you INSIDE, then forget it and move on to next choice.

Good luck. you can heal yourself. Remember?

Try boron (borax) and magnesium.

Also eat papaya (full of enzimes) and 0 dairy.

Best of luck
