Arthritis causes pain, swelling and stiffness in our knees. I have been coping with chronic pain in one knee for the past 3 years. I tried hydrocortisone and platelet rich plasma injections as well as massages, exercises and taking joint supplements and oral pain medication. Apart from a total knee replacement, has anyone found an effective long term cure or relief? I have seen significant improvement after 12 months of physiotherapy. However, there is still around 10 - 15% of pain when walking down the stairs, after sitting down for too long or walking too far. Perhaps the physio has only delayed the inevitable TKR.

Your GP will usually prescribe Glucosamine Sulphate for arthritis.

My condition has been diagnosed as osteoarthritis which is common in older adults. Both orthopaedic surgeons I consulted at Mount Elizabeth and NUH said that the cartilage that cushions my left knee joint has worn down over time. I used to play football on weekends, jog and workout at the gym 5 days a week. I probably overdid the active part in a bid to stay healthy.

Wearing cartilage is a normal aspect of aging. It's not really your sport's fault. It most likely stems from your bad posture, which puts your knees and back at a disadvantage when you lift something heavy for extended periods of time. In fact, exercise do help your knees getting enough blood flow and oxygen. Most elderly have Arthritis because they squat or sat down for too long when doing laundry. Anyway, prevention must always start early and when you are young, not wait until your bone thing happen. If cartilage can easily be regrown, the doctor will tell you already.

My older friends who underwent total knee replacement have varying experiences. A few said it has given them a new lease of life while there are others who reported still feeling some pain after going through the surgery at great expense.
 
I went for weekly private physiotherapy sessions, working out the lower body in the gym and foot reflexology (including knee massages) once or twice a month. I would say it is 80% better than when I tore my meniscus.
 
Taking glucosamine supplement is useless, surgery is the good option. Otherwise, you should attend the healing sermon from lighthouse church, strongly recommended by towkay @JohnTan.
 
Have you tried fasting? At least 48 hours without eating. Let autophagy kick in, let your body heal itself.

Kenna a few times knees got swollen especially the right. Doc said wear & tear since I was doing a lot of sports during younger days. Recently my friend recommended MSD Vitamin D for repair. Still yet to get from my GP to try.

My Mrs bought me a bottle of Gingko Biloba as she claimed it would improve my memory. After 1 month, she asked if it helped. I admitted that I didn't know since I forgot to take any of the tablets.
 
Alternative possible cure underway is bioeletric morphogenesis, imagine grow back cartilage like new...
