    Right knee pain

    I am a woman of about 68 years, weighing about 90kg. I have this knee pain under my knee cap but there's no swollen. The pain comes mostly when I sit for long , and it worsens when my diet consists of turkey meat or red meat but less with fish or chicken. Sometimes the pains can radiate inside the muscles of the lap when I am walking. I have not been using any NSAID or oral pain reliever but the external ones. I use Voltarené gel to massage but sometimes the pain still comes back. Please can....

    Level III A/C Joint Separation, etc.

    Hi all, Glad I found this place. I am suffering from a wicked pinched nerve in my neck that's giving me some side effect symptoms that I can't bear any more.

    Severe arthritis in knees and spinal stenosis

    I'm at my wits end with this arthritis pain. I have tried EVERYTHING!!!

Part of the problem is I eat and I can't move much so I gain more weight. I don't mean to sound like a pity case but I don't know what else to do. My biggest fear is if I try to work through....

    Suspected Arthritis

    She started with back pain (in the lumbar spine area) in the past year or so. It wasn’t serious/long lasting. Every time my mom has the back pain, she put on a pain relief pad (those cheap kind you can get from Chinese pharmacies or Rite Aid. She used various kinds, and they seemed had worked in the past). Now the pain relief pad doesn’t help anymore. The back pain (again in the lumbar spine area) is getting worse, and even her knees are getting pain as well. We went to different doctors (3 internal....
