Question 2

what helps knee pain?

Accepted Answer

OTCs and exercise: Tough question. The knee is complicated. You can have torn cartilage, ligament issues, arthritic changes, degenerative disease, just to mention a few problems. I would start with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, some light range of motion and strengthening exercises. If the pain continues after that, you will have to see your doc. Physical therapy can help and x-rays/mri might be indicated.

Question 3

knee pain when its cold?

Accepted Answer

Can see one's doctor: Give doctor the details. General symptoms are common symptoms that a huge proportion of people have at one time or another. For example, symptoms like headache, fever, runny nose, indigestion, diarrhea, leg or knee pains, etc... are common to all of us. The details and a patient's history are what makes the difference. Otherwise, a general symptom (called a nonspecific symptom) has vague meaning.
