It gives out for no apparent reason, usually going up stairs (not fun). Also, it's very painful. I finally went to the doctor for it, had x-rays taken, was poked and prodded and was told...they don't have a clue what's wrong. Could be plica syndrome, could be a weak knee, could be the warning signs of torn ligaments or cartilage. So, they gave me Celebrex, told me not to use stairs, massage my knee and do some exercises, but no squats. It's been about 3 months now. Although my knee hurts considerably less, it's still a problem. Plus, I want OFF this medication. Suggestions? Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Isn't that the limit. They prod, push, poke, and can't come up with a diagnosis, and yet still recommend a drug. Sheeeeeeesh!!! Check out the Deep Tissue Repair Oil in the files along with the BF & C tincture. This would help dramatically. Also, get yourself a heating pad and an ice pack. For an hour each night, alternate hot and cold on the knee. Start with cold 10 minutes, and then switch to hot for 10. End on the hot. If I only had one therapy to use, it would be hot and cold. It is that powerful.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Vitamin C (i prefer crystals) is a known pain releiver not to mention it's ability to regenerate collogen which is what holds our bodies together. I'm a huge " C " beleiver and user. I do ,4000-8,000mg daily. 1/4tsp equals 1,000mg. Vitamin C overall is a staple in my diet. The RDA is not nearly enough, so do some research. Linus Pauling won a Pulitzer Prize for his research and two great sights that address Vitamin C amongst other great topics are: www.mercola.com www.doctoryourself.com sign up for there free newsletter but beware they preach alot about vegetable juicing which is just fine with me since I'm a vegi juicer myself. I had knee issues/surgery and shoulder problems/tendinitis and changing my food intake has made all the difference in my overall health.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Nothing moves blood like hot and cold. Put your arm under a tap and turn it on cold. Your skin turns white as the blood rushes away. Now turn it on hot and your skin will turn red or pink as the blood now rushes into the area. This is great for removing stoppages any where in the body you can get a heating pad / ice pack or do a full body shower using hot and cold. It is marvelous therapy. There are spas in Europe totally devoted to the use of hot and cold. That's all they use.
