There are many components to the knee making it vulnerable for various types of injuries. Many injuries are successfully treated conservatively, while others require surgery to correct.  You should see a doctor as soon as possible as this is essential in case you may have suffered a ligament tear.  A tear would most likely require surgery if you are looking for a good long-term outlook. \n\nIn the meantime, follow a RICE program (an acronym which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation).\n\nMore info on the treatment of knee injuries on site below.

Have you been diagnosed to have these joints replaced?  You are so young to have this surgery.  I wonder what causes your chronic pain?   Are there any alternatives before going under the knife?\n I'm not familiar with the newest procedures, but don't these prosthetics last about 10 years?\n\nMy mother had 3 hip replacements but she was in her 80's for the last one.  After dealing with her recovery and physical therapy I can't imagine having a knee replacement done at the same time.  It's major surgery anyway you slice it or dice it.\nI would get a least two opinions.

after getting knee pain...

not to bad the people above are right it hurts worse to not have it done. Besides the worse part of the whole operation is the IV that they put in...I do suggest the surgery and I do suggest a lot of ice and a nice bed with a lot of pillows...  If the doctor has to stitch or shave the meniscus  is whether or not you get to walk 3 days afterwards or not...And another thing i suggest highly is moving your knee the day afterwards because if you don't move it around it will become very weak and then therapy will have to happen.Hope this helps!

ouch!  sounds like maybe sciatica.  Tylenol may help, but I use Ibuprofen (advil, motrin, etc) for my chronic knee pain.  But yeah, definitely talk to your doctor\n\nEDIT:\nSorry, I just noticed you asked for NATURAL remedies.  Theres this stuff I use, its called Traumeel.  You can get it at most  "natural" stores.  its all herbal.

Meniscal  knee surgery is invasive to the knee joint. It shaves or removes the meniscus which cushions the knee joint. the knee will never ever be the same after that surgery. Arthritis is a common after affect, even when the surgery heals.\n\nThere are methods for making the arthritic knee feel better, but ultimately, your mother is probably on her way to knee replacement in the future.  In the meantime, there are various means to make her mobile and relatively comfortable, until knee surgery replacement is the only alternative left.  These can include: ibuprofen, NSAIDS, joint replacement fluid (synvisc), moderate exercises, heat/ice therapy, cortisone injections.  \nA good orthopedic doctor will try all the medical treatments on her before even considering a replacement surgery.\n\nBest wishes

Where are you located?  I am from Ohio and my mom was one of the first to get a total knee replacement with the new procedure. The doctor was an orthopedic surgeon...I would call the nearest place to your location that handles Orthopedic Surgery and find out if they are doing the new 3 in incision.  By the way my moms knee turned out great and the scar is barely noticeable and from what i have heard about the longer incision the time that it took to heal was alot faster "she was walking on it the day after her surgery".  Hope this helps :-)

You should seek advise from your doctor as what type of brace you need depends on your condition or injury. I have been through several knee injuries and in my opinion, you need to talk to your doctor. Good luck, Mike

Surgary is most likely. You can eather change your knee to fit your lifestyle or change your lifestyle to fit your knee. Healing time is 1month+. It might not feel the same but most likely if you have surgary it will. Hope you fell better.

Id agree with seeing a physical therapist which i am or a doctor doc would be better to see first. being your not having any pain it cant be cartiliage it could be a bone chip or  osteroposis but id believe that if your knee is snapping youd either be in pain or be heavily swollen. if you dont want to see the dr. right away id suggest doing some stretches because it may also be fluid in the knee. stretching would eliminate that problem for the most part.

Alas, with health care in our country ... we don't have socialized medicine where the care is dispensed only by need. If you are asking people to give you a rather complicated and expensive procedure, prepare to put on your work gloves and work for it. \n\nThe thing you have to do is look at the resources in front of you and try to figure your moves out. Somehow, you found out you needed knee replacement surgery ... could that medical practitioner work through their resources?  See what Kent County's Health Department and the State says. Find out which of the local hospitals is considered the 'teaching hospital' and try to talk to a social worker or intake counselor there. Look up where the medical schools are in our state and try to work with them as well. Use this tool called a computer and find out everything you can - become a student of this.\n\nAnd most importantly, have a good reason why. Don't tear up and talk about your hardships. We all need help in one way or another. Know how are you going to make a real difference once you get your gift and be prepared to tell everyone a reason why this is important to all of us as well as yourself.  If you have a reason for this greater then yourself, it will happen.

Yahoo has a wonderful search engine for local information. \n\nAside from that-\nYou may not be able to find a doctor that specializes in pain managment, however most family practice doctor will be able to assist you in pain managment. If it is joint pain or arthritis you may consider seeing a rheumatologist.

I hope this is a genuine question and not a joke.\n\nIf you're having pain in the knees then you may want to try Obsteo-Flex, the new product that's being advertised, or a generic brand.\n\nGlucosamine HCL, Chondroitin, and MSM are known supplements for improving joint health.\n\nHopefully, you're not suffering from arthiritis but that could be a possibility.

Two of my patients have got knee surgery in India.One was treated for acl repair surgery and the other for total knee replacement surgery.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to joint damage have totally gone.\n\nOrthopaedic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as some of the  surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.\n\nThe cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your knee surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.i strongly recommend you to talk to this company,checkout your options with surgery from them.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com
