A member asked:

My mom is 50, she has leg pain mainly, in joints, doctors prescribe only pain killers, is there any better treatment for joint pain.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arthritis: Painful arthritis can be treated many ways. In mild to moderate cases, people can find relief using oral anti inflammatories, topical pain relievers, injection therapy, rest, ice, and physical therapy. More severe cases may have to be treated with surgical intervention.
