When we administer Flex All to her knee and she takes a motrin, the inflammation goes away. It returns after she stands for a long time or doesn't rest enough. Any ideas what it could be?

not sure but i module tell you never give her any narcotics to help the pain they module exclusive perceive her more in the daylong run~~~

Glucosamine HCL & Chondroitin Sulfate fix her every up, guaranteed.

I had articulatio discompose for over 10 years. I went to the Foot and Ankle clinic, They fitted me for orthodics for my position and the articulatio discompose is gone! It was because I achievement on the correct of my foot. The inserts for my position attain me achievement right, so no pain. I had to dress them for most 6 months to be totally free from the pain, but it made a bounteous disagreement correct away and got inferior and inferior all the time. I poverty to add that at the Foot and Ankle Clinic they are scrutiny drs. They do x-rays and and a thorough examination. If the orthodics are not what you need, the Dr. will beam you for an MRI. Be blessed.

Your wife haw have Arthritis...try ice...it has ever worked for me...and I have had Arthritis since I was a child...I also take Ibuprofen... You can also look for a Rhuematologist...he specializes in Arthritis & similar diseases...

The only trusty way to find out Is to get an MRI and an e-ray. Don`t second guess. These things never get better on their own. I know. I hit hernaited discs and I just had surgery 5 weeks ago.

Arthritis feels like a "toothache", dull and sometimes radiating discompose of the joints. A ultimate x-ray of the joint would be healthy to tell you if she has an rheumatic knee. 8TM's recommendation of Glucosamine is a good one. Either way, she should get it checked out. Good luck, my friend. (((Semper)))

Remember "NSAIDs & Ace" Semper. Non-Steroidal Antiinfammatory Drugs and Ace wrap. Also "RICE." I'm sure you remember this digit as well. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. You can also alternate between ice and heat. Ice for swelling and modify to encourage circulation. Normally ice is utilised for "acute" injuries. For example: Twisted ankles. Heat is utilised for chronic conditions. Her's sounds more chronic. If the pain is managable, you should schedule her an appointment with her Primary Care Physician. If the pain is truly unbearable, take her to the E.R. Either way I see her probably effort a "knee series" xray. Her doc might decide on an MRI or CT scan which are more huffy studies than an mediocre xray. Good luck Semper! Rah! : )

Take her to the Dr. I had an Army injury and it flared up and I took advice from everyone and waited before feat to the Dr. Had I gone to the Dr and gotten the X-rays and proper exams there was a chance I may have NOT had to have the fivesome surgeries preceding to and the knee equal I had to have. No one on here is qualified to give discover scrutiny advice without being healthy to examine her knee. Please Semper, take her to the Dr so that modify if it is something secondary it can be treated properly. Peace & Love :)

It haw be that her cartilage is worn out/shredded (chondromalcia) Not certain most the spelling . That causes current inflammation and pain especially when pronounce is put on the knees by bending or squatting. Depending on her age and kinsfolk characteristics this crapper happen early or late in life. I had an injury to my left articulatio when I was 14 and in my 20's began to have this kind of trouble. By my 40's I necessary replacement joints in both knees. One warning. Too such motrin crapper cause stomach pain and irritation. Ibuprofen is enthusiastic for inflammation but must be utilised carefully. Try to take with crackers or milk to protect the stomach. glucosamine chondroitin supplements do help some people. I do agree that none of us on here has the training to diagnose. I'm just informing my "story".

Brother were not doctor's but we will be praying for your wifes knee.

Well, I can empathize. I hit some filthy arthritis in my knees (and hips, and spine). A trip to an orthopedic doc is in order to intend a diagnosis, to be sure it isn't something else. I will need to hit my knees replaced within 5-10 years. Rest, elevate the legs, walk to loosen the stiffness. Ask a doctor about glucosamine. I fine cover is more comforting than heat, but she will hit to try both. She's lucky to hit you Semper! All the best.

Get an xray. I have arthritis in my knee, I take aleve liquid gels and it helps more that most pain relievers although advil cephalalgia liquid gels works beatific too. Good for inflammation. Ice it although I don't think this works, only numbs the pain.
