my right knee has been giving me some issues,..just soreness sometimes,..when i am sitting "indian style" on the bed on the laptop or in other stressful ways,...is there any recommended joint pills you guys have experience with????

 

Naproxen is an anti-inflamatory that I take for my left knee. Don't know if it has any type of pain relief to it or not. I haven't noticed any.

 

I actually have knee problems. Im a firm believer in not taking medication. Proper hydration and stretching will help alot. Medication is just a temporary fix and would just lead to more problems later. Just my opinion though.

 

Motrin.

 

Aleve?

 

I happen to agree with this.

There is a cause of your pain and any pill that you find off the shelf is likely going to just mask the symptoms...but there's a reason we have symptoms: to tell us when something is wrong.

We hide pain with pills and drugs but often forget to take steps to fix the actual cause of the problem. I think in your shoes I would be online doing research to find out what (biologically/medically) caused the problem and how you can get rid of the cause of the pain.

 

I can tell you know its prob a swollen tendon, ITB is my guess.(Thats whats wrong with me, and its a very common porblem), stretch every night before you go to bed after about 3 or 4 weeks the pain should go away. Just a guess though.

my job is very hard on me,..i valet at a casino and i run on cement and run stairs all day.....probably up and down 2 flights of stairs probably on average 50 times a day plus some parking garage ramps about 20 or more times a day. my shoes(as some of you have read on my shoe threads) i have noticed are an issue but just recently i have noticed a sore right knee sometimes. i dunno, i just thought there was some over the counter natural supplements as i see at Whole Foods.
I'll try stretching more and switching shoes out (again) but we'll see what happens

 

Trust me, my job(Marine Corps) is killer on my knees, hips, and feet. Everything im telling you is what the Navy Corpsman told me, and it helps.
