A member asked:
Weather has started getting cold and my knee hurts all the time now. it is from a old injury. what can i do to help the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Determine pain cause: Do you have arthritis? Is this tendonitis? Is there swelling of the knee? Could you have a meniscal tear? To effectively treat pain, you have to determine the cause, if possible. For now, rest from offending activities, ice for 20 minutes at a time, take OTC ibuprofen in only the recommended amt. and consider a brace.
