One month back I started getting very severe pain on my left knee inside. I have taken X-ray and consulted ortho pedic surgeon. He says it is starting of osteoporosis given me pain killer medicine and a medicine called rejoin. Still I am getting very severe pain once the pain killer medicine effect is wears of and I find very difficult to walk. I appreciate any remedy is there to reduce the pain so that I can walk normally. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I was waking up in the middle of the night with leg pains. More leg pain in the day time, but not as noticeable because I was focused on work that needed to be done. The pain would seem to be in the bone on the front below the knee and often my feet would hurt too. The pain was a dull ache like a toothache but with increasing intensity after standing or walking for any length of time. Was this comment helpful?Yes

In my left hand and wrist there has been swelling and stiffness of my fingers and lots of pain. I carried my hand in my right hand like a baby till I went to a doctor and with medication it got better, but some of my fingers are still stiff and I cannot grasp a pot handle. There is always puffiness in the palm of my hand and the skin feels strange. Was this comment helpful?Yes
