Oh India,

I have that too. My knees are pretty bad already. My younger brother already has had 3 surgeries and the last time he had to have a total knee replaced. It irks me so much when people tell me that it's my weight and all that but yes I agree that that is a small part of it but even when I was underweight (HA) I had the same problem. I also have primary arthritis on my neck and secondary on my back.

What do you do to minimize the pain? I would like to find a different thing to take or do that's not a prescription. I'd rather go with natural healings.

Elva, I just take Naproxen... 500 mg twice a day. It does bother my stomach sometimes, so I have to make sure I eat with it... I take the glucosamin, chondrotin and msm supplement... water exercise helps, the more you move, the better... meditteranean diet would be ( antinflammatory diet) like salmon, beans, lean meats and veggies... I had surgery on one knee about 7 yrs ago... I do ok but have my moments.... Thats about all you can do... I am holding off replacing it until I cant stand it anymore.... a warmer climate would help lol, I live in NY... Have a great day
