my mother has pain in her knees since last one year...she has taken antiinflammatory drugs as well as calcium suuplements for a long time but there has been no improvement...recently another doctor prescribed Diacerin which has got some improvement in her swelling of legs and knees
Hello, Arthritis is the most common cause for painful and swollen knees. Discern is used to treat osteoarthritis, so I am glad that it is helping. She could also add some glucosamine, a supplement that supports cartilage function and helps some people with arthritis. If the pain or swelling becomes severe she should see a Rheumatologist to rule out more serious forms of arthritis like osteoarthritis. Regards
