Mild Arthritis

Asked for Female, 51 years

My mother has mild arthritis in left knee. Intense pain in her both calves at the entire length including the right one which don't have arthritis. While she is having difficulty in movement and can't sit wait for long, we can't get her to clinic currently, so any home based remedy, exercise, or anything to manage the pain to some extent, except pain killers? And if possible any prolonged natural treatment or exercises? Will physiotherapy methods like ultrasound waves, infrared etc work?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. There are many medications that are available to ease and relieve the pain of arthritis. There are also intra-articular steroid injections available. However these you will have to take in clinic. Till then take 1 tablet brexin in morning and 1 at night.
Physiotherapy will definitely make a difference and many hospitals supply physiotherapists at home who can do the treatment at home.
It's best if you meet with an orthopedic or rheumatologist.
Take 1 Cap Cartigen 500mg daily. This is a supplement that helps strengthen the weak arthritis areas.
