My ortho has prescribed cap carnisure 500 1 capsule twice day and tab aceproxyvon 1 tab twice a day, both for 5-7 days for pain around my knee area and just above calf. I am 71 and am a brisk walker. The pain is there for a couple of days. Is the treatment on the right lines
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned the medicines mentioned by the or tho I feel it is going to help you. Since the medicine is prescribed for the 7 days I will advise you to continue the same and undergo physical therapy as well. Since medicine will help in symptomatic pain relief then later will help in reducing inflammation as well. Also, your age is 71, so degenerative changes of the knee tissues must be leading to pain and strengthening the muscles of the knee is recommended to avoid future pains. In my clinical practice, patients with Knee pain above age 65 respond to well to a combination of medicine and physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
