Report
I have pain in right knee and left heel for the last fifteen days. They happened earlier also, dont remember exactly when, they disappeared the way they appeared. I am now aged 64 plus. Xray report says it is decreased tibiofemoral & patellofemoral joint sapces, osteophytes ar femoral, petellar and tibial margins. No e/o lytic/ sclerotic lesion, they say its osteoarthiritis in my knee and in the heel, the report says early calaneal spur seen on both sides, articular margin and joint space are unremarkable and no detectable bony injury is seen. Please advise.

This could be due to oa knee &/or obesity. Physiotherapy along with medicines will help. Rule out diabetes & vit. D deficiency or any other metabolic disorder. Sleep on a hard bed with a soft bedding on it. Any way take bio d3 max 1tab odx10days ibuprofen 200mg od & sos x 5days do knee exercises. It may have to be further investigated make sure you are not allergic to any of the medicines you are going to take.
