As arthritis is very common that you get generally bilaterally. Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone.
Simple Knee ExerciesSpecific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee

This doesn't cure the disease. May delay the pathology. You have to do physiotherapy. Treatment depends on clinical examination and x rays.

I have not seen your MRI . If a cartilage charting shows there is a defect on the cartilage then an arthroscopy is better to treat that defect. Depending on the size of the defect the treatment is biased. The pain is only immediate. If a definite defect is there then it needs to be treated otherwise will lead to early osteoarthritis

Glucosamine has no evidence for Treatment of joint pains effectively.
Literature says it's not more than Placebo.
Rather you can try home made bone broth which gives vital amino Acids and Collagen peptide, Collagen peptide is more helpful in soothing joint pain.
MSM may give some relief in mild pain.
Curcumin is proven to be more effective in pain relief.
Astaxanthin is more effective.
Omega 3 fatty acids more than 1000 mg a day is more effective.
Boswellia Serrata or...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is better if you give details of Thyroid hormone levels as well as TSH and current treatment with dosage. That will give a clear idea about what is the situation. As regards taking Glucosamine and chondriotin for arthritis related pain, these drugs are really not much effective. They are supposed to be helping in restoring cartilage in the joints, which is a doubtful action. It is better to consult an orthopedician for the same issue. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user,
you should not take panadol, nurofen and naproxen together coz they all contains similar molecules which act as pain killer. You should take any one of these as taking them simultaneously will have adverse effect on your liver and stomach. Yes, you can safely take any one of them with sertraline.

If your pain is more in the distal joints, ie. In the upper limbs if the pain is present in the fingers/wrist and in the lower limbs it the pain is present in the toes/ ankle, then we shall definitely say it is Rheumatic arthritis. Wear elbow brace and wrist brace which will make her to feel warm and that will make the joints become firm. Hot water fermentation will help
Knee cap will also help to prevent the damaged cartilages. If your pain is more in the distal joints, ie. In the upper lim...more
