I have a tweaked meniscus from grappling. my doctor recommended aleve, (naproxen) but hasn't helped. any other otc suggestions for joint/pain relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advil (ibuprofen): If you don't respond to alleve, try advil (ibuprofen). Some patients respond better to advil (ibuprofen). If its just a tweak, it should get better in a week or so. Also try ice and rest. If no improvement see a sports orthopedist for a work up and proper diagnosis and treatment plan which may include knee arthroscopic surgery.
