The story

anyone else who has problems with pain in their knees that nothing seems to help.

What do you do ?

As I've been struggling for yolears but lately my knee is getting worse and nothing seems to be helping not even the new dose of ibuprofen my doctor has proscribed me and she did say I could take it up to 3 times a day but I don't like taking it or any pills as I've burnt my stomach lining after take ibuprofen.

Any ops will be useful.

While it is problematic that the ibuprofen is damaging your stomach lining, perhaps adjusting your approach might be beneficial; Have you considered alternative therapies like physical therapy or acupuncture? I understand skepticism towards non-pharmaceutical methods, but they can sometimes provide relief without the side effects. I've had a family member find success with water aerobics for knee pain, something to ponder on 🤗

Ugh, knee pain is the worst, isn't it? I totally get not wanting to pop pills all day; it's a slippery slope that can mess with your stomach even more. Have you tried using ice or heat for some relief? Sometimes just putting an ice pack on my knee after a long day helps a lot more than I expected; Also, maybe look into getting one of those knee braces for extra support when you're up and about. They helped me tons when I was dealing with some serious knee issues last year. Really hope you find something that works for ya! 🌟

Dealing with persistent knee pain can definitely be a challenging ordeal. While medications might help, they often come with unwelcome side effects, but you already know that... 😔

Have you explored any holistic approaches like yoga or tai chi? These gentle practices can sometimes strengthen muscles around the joint and increase flexibility without putting additional stress on your knees. I've found them quite helpful in managing my own discomfort over time! 🌟

Man, knee pain sucks! Totally feel ya on not wanting to rely on pills. Have you thought about changing up your diet? Sometimes what we eat can actually affect inflammation and stuff. Maybe give it a shot if you haven't already. Even small changes might surprise you. 🤔

Knee pain is indeed troublesome, but perhaps it's time to consult a specialist for an MRI or X-ray to assess any underlying structural issues?? Personally, I had a similar problem and it turned out that targeted physical therapy combined with dietary adjustments focused on reducing inflammation made a significant difference.
