Every medication is different. You won't know what works until you try one and see.

That depends on why it is swollen. High blood pressure can do that and an ankle sprain can do it. There are other causes too. Each is treated differently.

However you are comfortable. It doesn't affect it.

Caral tunnel surgery is easy and very effective. That should help quite a bit. The arthritis is the problem. Treatment depends on which bones are affected. The wrist joint has a lot of moving parts. Have you had xrays?

Go get an x ray.

It's all low dose and they will give you a lead vest to wear.

Activity helps but walking that much on knees that bad isn't going to help. The reality is that you need knee replacement surgery. At 45, this isn't great because they will only last 15-20 years on average. You COULD try another arthroscopy but there's no guarantees. Artificial joint fluid is a possibility, as is the use of stem cells or PRP. Insurances will cover the fluid but not the stem cells. For exercise, it should be NON IMPACT, such as riding a bike, elliptical trainer, etc. If you're heavy, lose weight. Anything you can do to lighten the force put on your knees.

Good luck!!

You really need someone to examine the knee and do x rays. There are too many variables.

You need to be examined. It's impossible to determine an answer without a physical exam.

Usually. Yes.

It depends on the type of surgery you're having. Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device
