Orthopedic doctor has prescribed my problem as osteoarthritis nearly more than three months back. Stiffness persists and therefore cannot walk properly. The O/doctor has recommended physiotherapy/exercises. I consulted with a habit doctor who has prescribed Rheumatic Fresh (Greatsun) capsule along with another medicine (name could not read). But conditions did not improve. I am undone. Could you help pl. With Regards.

Knees 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. You can take Ultrasonic therapy in one of the nearby physiotherapy clinics which would help to heal the damaged cartilages along with shortwave diathermy which would help to improve the blood circulation.

It looks like you are anaemic. That's the reason the knee goes for genu recurvatum which is nothing but backward bowing of legs. This can be prevented by wearing knee brace to support the knee from going backwards while you walk or climb stairs. Check with your haemoglobin levels and also with your calcium & vitamin levels in your body by consulting a general physician.
