Pain joints worse on waking in the morning and worse on movement after sitting for sometime are usually initial symptoms of arthritis. But you need to be examined to have an idea if there are any preliminary changes of arthritis.

I went to consult a doctor and she prescribed diclofenac for me. From the web, I realised that this drug is commonly used to treat rheumatic arthritis. When I read further, the symptom of rheumatic arthritis is usually stiffness in the joint especially in the morning that could last for an hour. But....My symptom seems to be different. My stiffness/pain last only a few seconds. The first bending or stretching of the knee is difficult thereafter I don't feel pain anymore. From the web, I also realised that diclofenac has alot of side effects. My doctor told me that she had prescribed a mild version of the drug (diclofenac 50). Should I take the medication as prescribed?

Homeopathic medicine has good remedies to get rid of the pain. Rhus tox 200c three doses a day for seven days would give you a lot of relief.

My knee has been troubling me for about a year with off again on again pain once a month. This aching, throbbing has caused me to miss work and has kept me up for long periods of time? And also the side of my right knee is where all the pain is and down that leg also.
What should i do? Can someone help?
