Q: For the last 15 days I am suffering from pain in the knee joints. Pain initially started at the right knee and I am unable to walk fast. The pain peaks while climbing stairs. Now the left knee also started paining, but it is tolerable. Right knee pain is troubling me very much. I used medicines - Validcoxib, Femotin, Histac, Nimesulide, Rofcoxib gel in allopathy. Last month I was 79 kgs, but now I am 75 kgs. I want relief from my knee pains.

A:It appears that you are developing osteoarthritis in the knee joint and this will take some time to improve. In the meantime, you should continue the medicines, and also hot fomentation for immediate relief of pain. Try and reduce your weight if you are overweight according to your height.
